Christian Music : "Show pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive" Isaac watts' prayer for forgiveness


Isaac Watts, that prolific writer of English hymns, has contributed a most helpful penitential hymn, which bears the date of 1719. The sentiment of this hymn is rather an assumption of sin and a realization of God's knowledge of it, and therefore a penitential petition for forgiveness.
