Lord of mercy, just and kind,
Wilt thou ne'er my guilt forgive?
Never shall my troubled mind
In thy kind remembrance live?
Lord, how long shall Satan's art
Tempt my harassed soul to sin,
Triumph o'er my humbled heart,
Fears without and guilt within?
Lord, my God, thine ear incline,
Bending to the prayer of faith;
Cheer my eyes with light divine,
Lest I sleep the sleep of death.
But on mercy I rely--
Mercy, heavenly Lord, impart:
Mercy brings salvation nigh;
Mercy shall rejoice my heart.
Lord, I lift my voice in praise,
All thy bounty to adore:
From eternity thy grace
Flows, increasing evermore.
