May the Lord in mercy hear us,
When to him we humbly pray;
May he guide us, and direct us,
Into the true gospel way.
May he now look down upon us,
From his lofty throne above;
May he cast his blessings ‘round us,
Through his all abounding love.
May he cheer our drooping spirits,
And receive our humble praise;
While we feast on Jesus’ merits,
And to him bring joyful lays,
May he ever bless his children,
And forgive their follies past;
Still be near each honest pilgrim,
While his journey here may last.
And when troubles and temptations,
Rage in fury ‘round us here;
May we have sweet consolations,
That the Savior still is near.
Finally when death has entered,
This poor mortal frame of ours,
May our hope, our all, be centered,
In the Savior’s quickening powers.
