2 I come to Thee with sin and grief,
For Thou alone canst give relief,
Thy death for me, dear Lord, I plead:
O Jesus, help me in my need!

3 Shouldst Thou a strict account demand,
Who could, O Lord, before Thee stand?
Purge all my secret sins away:

Be Thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay!

4 O Jesus, Lamb of God, alone,
Who didst for all our sins atone,

Though I have sinned and gone astray,
Turn not, O Lord, Thy guest away!

5 O Jesus, Lamb of God alone,
Who didst for all our sins atone,

Be merciful, I Thee implore,

Have mercy, Lord, for evermore!

M. B. Landstad, 1861

2 For if Thou shouldst, O Lord, in anger smite us,
And for our sins with righteous meed 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.

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I'm bap-tized in Thy dear name;

I am reck-oned, I am reckoned, And for me
