Have Compassion, Lord, on Me!

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1907
Composer: John Sweney

O my Sav­ior

I am wea­ry!

Let my cry to Thee as­cend

While in hum­ble sup­pli­ca­tion

Now before Thy throne I bend!

Weak and help­less

yet be­liev­ing

Casting all my care on Thee

I am hop­ing

trust­ing

pray­ing;

Have com­pas­sion

Lord

on me!

O my Sav­ior

tho’ un­wor­thy

I have no­where else to go;

Thou canst par­don my trans­gress­ions

Thou canst wash me white as snow!

O my Sav­ior

by Thy Spir­it

Thou hast called me o’er and o’er;

Now re­pent­ant I am com­ing;

Lord

my wan­d’ring soul re­store!

O my Sav­ior

do not leave me

Here to per­ish at Thy throne;

In Thy ten­der

lov­ing mer­cy

Cleanse and make me all Thine own!
