Gently, Gently Lay Thy Rod

Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10068 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Gently, gently lay Thy rod On my sinful head, O God; Stay Thy wrath, in mercy stay, Lest I sink before its sway. 2 Heal me, for my flesh is weak; Heal me, for Thy grace I seek; This my only plea I make, Heal me for Thy mercy’s sake. 3 Who within the silent grave Shall proclaim Thy power to save? Lord, my trembling soul reprieve, Speak, and I shall rise and live. 4 Lo! He comes! He heeds my plea! Lo! He comes! The shadows flee! Glory round me dawns once more; Rise, my spirit, and adore! Languages: English Tune Title: GENTLE JESUS
