Before You, God, the Judge of All

Before you, God, the judge of all,
with grief and shame I humbly fall.
I see my sins against you, Lord,
my sins of thought and deed and word.
They press me sore; to you I flee:
O God, be merciful to me!

O Lord, my God, to you I pray:
O cast me not in wrath away!
Let your good Spirit ne'er depart,
but let him draw to you my heart
that truly penitent I be:
O God, be merciful to me!

O Jesus, let your precious blood
be to my soul a cleansing flood.
Turn not, O Lord, your guest away,
but grant that justified I may
go to my house at peace to be:
O God, be merciful to me!
