Piedad / Have Mercy, Lord, on Me
1. Take pity, Lord, I pray Thee,
Thy mercy show to me,
My sins and my wrongdoing
I now confess to Thee;
From all of my transgressions
Thou, Lord, hast set me free,
Thy blood so precious shedding
Upon the cruel tree.
Refrain:
Have mercy, Lord,
A sinner cries to Thee,
Have mercy, Lord,
Have mercy, Lord, on me.
2. O holy Lord Almighty,
My need to Thee I bear,
Although undone, unworthy,
I pray Thee, hear my prayer;
O Lamb for sinners wounded,
Redeemer of mankind,
Eternal life and pardon
My soul in Thee doth find.
(Refrain)
3. Lord, willingly Thou gavest
Thyself for all to die,
And purchase full redemption
For sinners such as I;
O blessed be Thy name, Lord,
Through all eternity
For bearing shame and anguish
Upon the cross for me.
(Refrain)
1. Señor, por tu clemencia,
Tened de mí piedad,
Delante tu presencia
Confieso mi maldad;
De todos mis pecados
Me redimiste Tú
Con sangre tan preciosa
Vertida en la cruz.
Estribillo:
Piedad, piedad,
Te implora un pecador;
Piedad, piedad,
Piedad de mí Señor.
2. Señor Omnipotente,
Escucha mi oracion,
Y sé a mi clemente,
Indigno pecador;
Cordero inmaculado,
Divino Redentor,
Tú eres quien me has dado
La eterna salvación.
(Estribillo)
3. Señor, que en el Calvario
Me diste redención,
Muriendo voluntario
Por mí, vil pecador;
Bendito sea tu nombre
Por la eternidad,
Que agonizante fuiste,
Señor, por mi maldad.
(Estribillo)
