Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions : And my sin is ever before me.

Page 120 - Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free Spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
