Luke 15:21: Father, I still confess

Father, I still confess
The sins Thou hast forgiven.
Unworthy to behold Thy face
Or lift mine eyes to heaven:
Though Thou Thy love reveal
Remitting all my debt.
That I have sinn'd I never will,
I never can forget.

Thou know'st what I would say
While at Thy feet I fall,
And dost not give me time to pray
To be the least of all:
Thy mercy bids me rise,
From all that I have done
Discharged, and fill'd with sweet surprise.
And call'd a pleasant son.
Yet for my sinless Saviour's sake
Thou wilt be reconciled,
Into Thine arms of mercy take.
And own me for Thy child.
