Grace and Mercyfrom Psalm 51

~ Excerpted from Psalm 51, as paraphrased by Mary Sidney Herbert,

Countess of Pembroke (1561-1621)

O Lord, whose grace no limits comprehend,Sweet Lord, whose mercies stand from measure free;

To me that grace, to me that mercy send,And wipe, O Lord, my sins from sinful me

Make over me thy mercy’s streams to flow,To ear and heart send joy, destroying woe.

Lord, cast me not from thee; take not againThy breathing grace; again thy comfort send me.

Inspire a spirit where love of right may reign,And let the guard of thy free Spirit attend me.

Unlock my lips, that I thy praise may bring.Then shall my mouth, O Lord, thy honor sing.
