O God of Mercy Hear My Call

BARBY-William Tans'ur

O God of Mercy! Hear My Call
}
O God of mercy! hear my call,
My load of guilt remove;
Break down this separating wall,
That bars me from thy love.

Give me the presence of thy grace;
Then my rejoicing tongue
Shall speak aloud thy righteousness,
And make thy praise my song.

No blood of goats, nor heifer slain,
For sin could e'er atone:
The death of Christ shall still remain
Sufficient and alone.

A soul, oppressed with sin's desert,
My God will ne'er despise;
An humble groan, a broken heart,
Is our best sacrifice.
