104 Turn, Lord, Thy wrath away

1 Turn, Lord, Thy wrath away, in mercy spare us! Lay down Thy rod and let Thy love upbear us! Hear us poor sinners, lo, sin hath undone us, Have mercy on us! 2 For if Thou shouldst, O Lord, in anger smite us, And for our sins with righteousness requite us, Then we would perish, in our lost condition Doomed to perdition. 3 O Lord, we pray Thee, grant to us remission! Pardon our sins, we mourn them with contrition, Thou who desirest not the sinner's dying, Grace art supplying. 4 Our frame remember, Thou who life bestowest, We are but dust, this Thou, O Father, knowest, Subject to death we are from life's beginning, For we are sinning. 5 Look to Thy Son's most bitter death and passion, Who on the cross did purchase our salvation, When from His wounds His blood was freely streaming, The world redeeming. 6 Therefore, O Father, through Thy dear Son's merit, Spare us and let us grace through Him inherit, That we in heaven, with Thee, of life the giver, May live forever.
