Might I in thy sight

S. Wesley

Might I in thy sight appear,

As the publican distrest,

Stand, not daring to draw near,

Smite on my unworthy breast,

Groan the sinner's only plea,

"God, be merciful to me!"

O remember me for good,

Passing through the mortal vale!

Show me the atoning blood,

When my strength and spirit fail;

Give my gasping soul to see

Jesus crucified for me!
