Be gracious to me o God In Thy true love In the fullness of Thy mercy Blot out my misdeeds Create in me a pure heart o God Give me a new and steadfast spirit Do not drive me from Thy presence Or take Thy Holy Spirit from me Against Thee I have sinned And done what displeases Thee Thou hast hidden the truth in darkness Through this mystery Thou teach me Create in me a pure heart o God Give me a new and steadfast spirit Do not drive me from Thy presence Or take Thy Holy Spirit from me
