Oh abundant mercy I cry to you,
Oh gracious king make my heart anew,
Steadfast the shade for sorrow for sin,
Light dawns for all he claims as kin.

Dreadful phantoms swirl around,
Deep in my mind they are found,
Changing creations true culture,
To the parasite kingdoms opposite order.

Yet in simple submission, alas oh surrender,
Thy kingdom come is sins own murder,
Sins severed nerve never knows such a defeat,
Then at the cross where Gods covenant is complete.

Oh rain down precious unmerited favor,
Let us rest unfailingly in its sweet savor,
Darkest horrid winters cold night,
Ended forever by Christs second flight.

Praise be to the God who reigns,
High from heaven, even through our pains,
The heavenly orchestra brings praise,
To the God of the cross, the Ancient of days.
