Gently, gently lay thy rod
On my sinful head, O God.
Stay thy wrath, in mercy stay,
Lest I sink before its sway.
Heal me, for my flesh is weak;
Heal me, for thy grace I seek;
This my only plea I make,
Heal me for thy mercy’s sake.
Who within the silent grave
Shall proclaim thy power to save?
Lord, my sinking soul reprieve,
Speak, and I shall rise and live.
Lo! he comes! he heeds my plea!
Lo! he comes! the shadows flee
Glory round me dawns once more;
Rise, my spirit, and adore.
