"And Wilt Thou Pardon, Lord" by Joseph the Hymnographer, c. 800-883 Translated by John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Text From: THE LUTHERAN HYMNAL (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1941) 1. And wilt Thou pardon, Lord, A sinner such as I, Although Thy book his crimes record Of such a crimson dye? 2. So deep are they engraved, So terrible their fear. The righteous scarcely shall be saved, And where shall I appear? 3. O Thou Physician blest, Make clean my guilty soul And me, by many a sin opprest, Restore and keep me whole. 4. I know not how to praise Thy mercy and Thy love; But deign my soul from earth to raise And learn from Thee above. _______________________________________ Notes: Hymn #322 from _The Lutheran Hymnal_ Text: Ps. 143:4 Titled: "Tohn hamartiohn mou tehn plehthun" Author: Joseph the Hymnographer, c. 860, cento Translated by: John M.
