Author: Tom Colvin Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Be merciful to us, dear God Lyrics: 1 Be merciful to us, dear God,
when we are under fierce attack,
we fear that we'll be overcome,
unless you grant the strength we lack.
2 You see how troubled we have been,
you keep a record of each tear.
But we believe that you, dear God,
can make the darkest future clear.
3 Though foes may persecute us here,
mere human kind we should not fear.
For you guard us with loving care
and keep your promise to be near.
4 We trust that you are on our side,
the God whose promises we praise.
So now we need not fear our foes,
for you'll protect us all our days. Topics: Solidarity in Suffering Scripture: Psalm 56 Used With Tune: OLD 100th
