Lord, Have Mercy When We Pray

Author: Henry H. Milman Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12070 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Lord, have mercy when we pray, Strength to seek a better way; When our wakening thoughts begin First to loathe their cherished sin; When the earliest gleam is giv’n, Of the bright but distant Heav’n, Then Thy fostering grace afford, Then, oh, then! Have mercy, Lord. 2 Lord, have mercy when we know First how vain this world below; When its darker thoughts oppress, Doubts perplex, and fears distress; Sigh for death, yet fear it still, From the dread of future ill; When the dim, advancing gloom Tells us that our hour is come. 3 Lord, have mercy when we lie On the restless bed, and sigh— When our weary spirits fail, And our aching brows are pale; When all other hope is gone, When our course is almost done, When is loosed the silver cord— Then, oh, then! have mercy, Lord.
