 [verse 7]  PUrge me with Hyssop, O my God,
for thou shalt cleanse me so:
O wash me in my Saviour's bloud
whiter than any snow.

 [verse 8]  O Let me hear the voice that spoke
of joy and gladness sweet:
That so the bones which thou hast broke
may with much comfort meet.

 [verse 9]  Then from my sins, Lord, hide thine eyes,
and frowning face refrain:
And blot out mine iniquities
that none of them remain.

 [verse 10]  O God, create in me an heart
unspotted in thy sight:
Renewing in my inward part
a spirit pure and right.

 [verse 11]  O do not cast me quite away
from presence of thy face:
Nor take from me (I humbly pray)
thy holy spirit of grace.

 [verse 12]  The joy of thy salvation sweet
to me, O Lord, restore:
And thy free spirit, O grant me it,
to stay me evermore.

 [verse 13]  Transgressors then shall learn of me,
how to obtain thy grace:
And converts shall come in to thee,
and sinners seek thy face.
