The Hymnal ‎#466

466. Lord, in this Thy mercy's day

1 Lord, in this Thy mercy's day,
Ere it pass for aye away
On our knees we fall and pray.

2 Holy Jesus, grant us tears,
Fill us with heart-searching fears,
Ere that awful doom appears.

3 Lord, on us Thy Spirit pour,
Kneeling lowly at thy door,
Ere it close for evermore.

4 By Thy night of agony,
By Thy supplicating cry,
By Thy willingness to die,

5 By Thy tears of bitter woe
For Jerusalem below,
Let us not Thy love forego.

6 'Neath Thy wings let us have place,
Lest we lose this day of grace
Ere we shall behold Thy face.

Amen.
