O Lord, turn not away thy face Lyrics and MP3

O Lord, turn not Thy face away
From him that lies prostrate,
Lamenting sore his sinful life
Before thy mercy-gate.

Which gate thou openest wide to those
That do lament their sin;
Shut not that gate against me, Lord,
But let me enter in.

And call me not to mine account,
How I have lived here;
For then I know right well, O Lord,
How vile I shall appear.

So come I to thy mercy-gate,
Where mercy doth abound,
Requiring mercy for my sin
To heal my deadly wound.

Mercy, good Lord, mercy I ask,
This is the total sum:
For mercy, Lord, is all my suit;
Lord, let Thy mercy come.
