| We have sinned against Thee. Neither have we obeyed the voice of the Lord our God. (Dan. 9:8,10) |
| The people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity. (Isa. 33:24) |
| The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin. (Ex. 34:6‑7) |
Forgiveness! ’twas a joyful sound
To guilty sinners doomed to die:
We’d publish it the world around,
And gladly shout it through the sky. |
For this stupendous gift of heaven,
What grateful honors shall we show!
Where much transgression is forgiven,
May love with fervent ardor glow. |
