Lord of mercy and of might,
Of mankind the life and light,
Maker, Teacher infinite:
Jesus, hear and save.
Strong Creator, Savior mild,
Humbled to a mortal child,
Captive, beaten, bound, reviled:
Jesus, hear and save.
Throned above celestial things,
Borne aloft on angels' wings,
Lord of lords, and King of kings:
Jesus, hear and save.
Soon to come to earth again,
Judge of angels and of men,
Hear us now, and hear us then:
Jesus, hear and save.
Amen.
