16005. Savior, Hear Us, Through Thy Merit

1 Savior, hear us, through Thy mer­it;
Lowly bend­ing at Thy feet;
Oh, draw near us by Thy Spir­it;
Prostrate at Thy mer­cy-seat.

2 For the joys of Thy sal­va­tion,
Still we raise our cries to Thee:
Hear the voice of sup­pli­ca­tion,
Set our souls at li­ber­ty.
