Hymns of the Russian Church ‎#85

85. O Lord of life, when mortals call

O Lord of life, when mortals call,
And freedom seek from earthly thrall,
Hear Thou in heaven, and save us all,
In mercy, Lord.

O Full of Mercy! when we groan,
Because of sin our spirits own,
Hear, Who for sinners did atone,
In mercy, Lord.

86
O Full of Pity! when we bear
To Thy blest feet our carking care,
Take of our weary load a share,
In mercy, Lord.

O Full of Grace! when sufferers tell
The grief Thou knowest, Lord, so well,
Come, with the broken-hearted dwell,
In mercy, Lord.

When lured by hope our spirits rise,
To where Thou beckon'st from the skies,
Then be eternal life the prize,
In mercy, Lord.
