Show Pity, Lord

Author: David Thomas Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9418 Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Show pity, Lord, for we are frail and faint Lyrics: 1 Show pity, Lord, for we are frail and faint; We fade away, O list to our complaint; We fade away like flowers in the sun, We just begin, and then our work is done. 2 Show pity, Lord, our souls are sore distressed; As troubled seas, our natures have no rest; As troubled seas, that surging, beat the shore, And throb and heave, ever and evermore. 3 Show pity, Lord, our grief is in our sin; We would be cleansed, O make us pure within; We would be cleansed, for this we cry to Thee; Thy word of love can make the conscience free. 4 Show pity, Lord: Inspire our hearts with love; That holy love which draws the soul above; That holy love which makes us one with Thee, And with Thy saints through all eternity.
