“Lord, have mercy.”

1. Lord, who wast content to die,
That poor sinners may draw nigh
cres. To the throne of grace on high,
p Miserere, Domine.

2. Who dost hear my every groan,
Intercedest at the throne,
cres. Making my poor prayers Thine own,
p Miserere, Domine.

3. When some sorrow, pressing sore,
Tells me, that life nevermore
cres. Can be, as it was of yore,
p Miserere, Domine.

4. Let me hear the Voice, that said,
“It is I, be not afraid”;
cres. So the sorrow shall be stay’d,
p Miserere, Domine.

5. When the hour of death is nigh,
And the watchers, standing by,
cres. Raise the supplicating cry,
p Miserere, Domine.

6. Take me to Thy promised rest,
Number me among the blest,
p Poor, and yet a welcomed guest.
f Alleluia, Domine.
