[Brief Intro] [Verse 1] HEAR, O my God, with pity hear, My humble supplicating moan; In mercy answer all my prayer, And make Thy truth and goodness known. [Chorus] And oh! let mercy still be nigh; Should awful justice frown severe, Before the terrors of Thine eye, What trembling mortal can appear? [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3] I call to mind the former days; Thy ancient works declare Thy name. Thy truth, Thy goodness, and Thy grace, And these, O Lord, are still the same. [Verse 4] Come, Lord, on wings of mercy fly, My spirit fails at Thy delay; Hide not Thy face; I faint, I die. Without Thy blissful healing ray. [Rest] [Chorus] And oh! let mercy still be nigh; Should awful justice frown severe, Before the terrors of Thine eye, What trembling mortal can appear? [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 5] Teach me to do Thy sacred will; Thou art my God, my hope, my stay: Let Thy good Spirit lead me still, And point the safe, the upright way. [Verse 6] Thy name, Thy righteousness I plead O Lord, revive my drooping heart; Let these distressing fears recede, And bid my troubles all depart. [Rest] [Chorus] And oh! let mercy still be nigh; Should awful justice frown severe, Before the terrors of Thine eye, What trembling mortal can appear? [Instrumental Bridge] [Final Chorus] And oh! let mercy still be nigh; Should awful justice frown severe, Before the terrors of Thine eye, What trembling mortal can appear? [Fade Out]
