Hymn/Song Information

O gracious Lord whose mercies rise above our




O gracious Lord! whose mercies rise
Above our utmost need,
Incline thine ear unto our cry,
And hear the orphan plead.


Bereft of all a mother’s love,
And all a. father’s care,
Lord, whither shall we flee for help?
To whom. direct our prayer?—


To thee we flee, to thee we pray;
Thou shalt our Father be:
More than the fondest parent’s care
We find, O Lord, in thee!


Already thou hast heard our cry,
And wiped away our tears:
Thy mercy has a refuge found,
To guard our helpless years.


Oh, let thy love descend on those
Who pity to us show;
Nor let their children ever taste
The orphan’s cup of woe!
