God Of Mercy

God of mercy and compassion, look with pity upon me
Father let me call Thee Father 'tis this child returns to Thee

Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy, let me not implore in vain
All my sins I now detest them, never will I sin again.

By my sins I have deserved death, and endless misery
Hell with all its pains and torments, for all eternity.

Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy, let me not implore in vain
All my sins I now detest them, never will I sin again.

By my sins I have abandoned, right and claim to Heaven above
Where the Saints rejoice for ever, in a boundless sea of love.

Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy, let me not implore in vain
All my sins I now detest them, never will I sin again.

See our Savior bleeding, dying, on the cross of Calvary
To that cross my sins have nailed Him, yet He bleeds and dies for me.

Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy, let me not implore in vain
All my sins I now detest them, never will I sin again.

    Can anyone please post the swahili version of this song? The translation is not accurate at all but the lyrics to it are so much more powerful I feel...

    Here is some of what I remember from my old days at catholic boarding school in Mumias kenya;

    Nisireegee moyoni
    Nisitokwe machozi.
    Nikimkumbuka munguwe,
    kwa yake makombozi

    Chorus
    Mtoa Roho msalabani,
    mtaka kufa mwenyewe,
    mtu huyu ana nini
    nguvu zake ni haba...

    The music actually comes from an Arabic Good Friday Hymn: Wa Habibi (my beloved)cf. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hduXnCao4I

    Yesu, Bin Mariamu,
    Bwana wa uzima,
    Umefika kwetu
    Humu Kanisani.

    Kwanza tainama,
    Tukukuabudu,
    Mungu Mwanadamu
    Madhbahuni petu.

    Kisha twasujudu
    Tukiwaombea
    Ndugu zetu pia,
    Wale wa kuzimu.

    Hawo walukuwa,
    Kwanza kama sisi,
    Uliwachagua
    Wawe watu wako.

    Hapa duniani
    Walikuungama,
    Nawe, Bwana wao,
    Usiwasahau.

    Walisumbuliwa
    Sana na Shetani,
    Taabu zimekwisha,
    Wape kustarehe.

    Kwenye vita kali
    Kweli walitiwa
    Majeraha mengi,
    Bwana, uwaponye.

    Upungufu wote,
    Doa na nawaa,
    Dam yako, Yesu,
    Iwaondolee.
