Born in a world of guilt, I drew Contagion with my breath; And as my days advanced, I grew A juster prey for death. 5. Cleanse me, O Lord, and cheer my soul With Thy forgiving love; And make my broken spirit whole, And bid my pains remove. 6. Let not Thy spirit quite depart, Nor drive me from Thy face; Create anew my vicious heart And fill it with Thy grace. 7. Then I will make Thy mercy known Before the sons of men; Backsliders shall address Thy throne, And turn to God again. Used With Tune: WINDSOR Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
