Chorus

By Thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord!

Verse 1

JESUS, Lord of life and glory, Bend from heaven Thy gracious ear; While our waiting souls adore Thee, Friend of helpless sinners, hear

Verse 2

From the depths of nature’s blindness, From the hardening power of sin, From all malice and unkindness, From the pride that lurks within:

Verse 3

When temptation sorely presses, In the day of Satan’s power, In our times of deep distresses, In each dark and trying hour:

Verse 4

When the world around is smiling, In the time of wealth and ease, Earthly joys our hearts beguiling, In the day of health and peace:

Verse 5

In the weary hours of sickness, In the times of grief and pain, When we feel our mortal weakness, When all human help is vain:

Verse 6

In the solemn hour of dying, In the aweful judgement day, May our souls, on Thee relying, Find thee still our Rock and stay
