Come, Lord In Mercy Come Again
Author: Nathaniel Colver Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8751 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Come, Lord, in mercy come again Lyrics: 1 Come, Lord, in mercy come again,
With Thy converting power;
The fields of Zion thirst for rain,
O send a gracious shower!
2 Our hearts are filled with sore distress,
While sinners all around
Are pressing on to endless death,
And no relief is found.
3 Dear Savior, come with quickening power,
Thy mourning people cry;
Salvation bring in mercy’s hour,
Nor let the sinner die.
4 Once more let converts throng Thy house,
And shouts of victory raise;
Then shall our griefs be turned to joy,
And sighs to songs of praise. Languages: English Tune Title: WINDSOR

Anonymous
Person Name: Anon. Author of "Come, Lord, in mercy come again" in African Methodist Episcopal hymn and tune book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
