auto-underlaid These words and this tune share a meter but have no hand-edited setting; the underlay was fitted automatically (syllable-for-note, validated). The opening stress differs from the tune's — usually fine; trust your ear.

1.My sins and faults of youth,
Let them forgotten be,
And for Thy tender mercies' sake,
O Lord, remember me.

2.The Lord is just and good,
Instructing those that stray;
The meek He will in judgment guide
And make them know His way.

3.The pathways of the Lord
Are truth and mercy sure
The meek He will in judgement guide
And make them know His way.

4.For Thy Name's sake, O Lord,
With Thee I humbly plead
To pardon my iniquity,
For it is great indeed.
