THE PENITENT'S CRY.

By Emma L. Pardon

JESUS, Thou glorious Lord of all, Low down before Thy feet I fall, And on Thy holy name I call: O Lord, be merciful to me!
Far from the right I oft did stray, And oft forsook the narrow way; Now hear me as, with tears, I pray: O Lord, be merciful to me!
Thou who didst shed Thy precious blood, And sorrow's path on earth hast trod, That Thou might'st bring us back to God, O Lord, be merciful to me!
I long to hail Thee as my King; I long Thy glorious praise to sing; My heart I as an offering bring: O Lord, be merciful to me!
A holy life I now begin, If Thou wilt dwell my heart within, Expelling by Thy grace each sin: O Lord, be merciful to me!
The things I loved I now do hate; Upon Thy holy Word I wait; Accept me now, if not too late: O Lord, be merciful to me!
O, now I trust Thy promise clear, I claim Thee as my Saviour dear, Thy gracious words of love I hear: "I will be merciful to thee."
