Lord, to Thee I Make Confession

Lord

to Thee I make con­fess­ion;

I have sinned and gone as­tray

I have mul­ti­plied trans­gress­ion

Chosen for my­self my way.

Led by Thee to see my er­rors

Lord

I trem­ble at Thy ter­rors.

Yet

though con­science’s voice ap­pall me

Father

I will seek Thy face;

Tho’ Thy child I dare not call me

Yet re­ceive me to Thy grace.

Do not for my sins for­sake me;

Do not let Thy wrath o’er­take me.

For Thy Son did suf­fer for me

Gave Him­self to res­cue me

Died to heal me and re­store me

Reconciled me un­to Thee.

’Tis alone His cross can van­quish

These dark fears and soothe this ang­uish.

Then on Him I cast my bur­den

Sink it in the depths be­low.

Let me know Thy gra­cious par­don

Wash me

make me white as snow.

Let Thy Spir­it leave me nev­er;

Make me on­ly Thine for­ev­er.
