Author: Paul B. Henkel Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12645 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Have mercy Lord, on us we pray Lyrics: 1 Have mercy Lord, on us we pray,
Thy grace to us reveal;
O turn Thy plagues from us away
Tho’ we deserve them well.
2 Thy punishments are justly due,
And answer to our crimes!
And we are made to feel them too,
In these distressing times.
3 Lord, what destruction death has made,
How has it swept our towns;
So many numbered with the dead,
In neighboring places round.
4 Death visits us in all our homes,
And there makes his abode:
And hurries mortals to their tombs,
That sink beneath his load.
5 Well may we sorrow, weep and mourn,
And pray with all our heart:
That God in mercy may return,
1 And bid our plagues depart. Languages: English Tune Title: WINDSOR
Have Mercy, Lord, On Us, We Pray
