Bible Songs #18 in the Back "Free My Heart from Sin" (Psalm 51:9-10, 14-17)

1. From my sins hide Thy face,
Blot them out in Thy grace;
Free my heart, O God, from sin,
Spirit right renew within.
Refrain:
Free my heart, O God,
Free my heart from sin.

2. Freed from guilt, I shall raise
Songs of joy Thee to praise;
Sacrifice Thou wilt not take,
Else would I the off’ring make.
Refrain.

3. Sacrifice, burnt off’ring,
Can to Thee no joy bring,
But a spirit crushed for sin,
Contrite, broken heart within.
Refrain.
