3861. Lord of Mercy and of Might

1. Lord of mercy and of might,
Of mankind the life and light,
Maker, teacher, infinite;
Jesus, hear and save!

2. Strong Creator, Savior mild,
Humbled to a mortal child,
Captive, beaten, bound, reviled;
Jesus, hear and save!

3. Throned above celestial things,
Borne aloft on angels’ wings,
Lord of lords and King of kings;
Jesus, hear and save!

4. Soon to come to earth again,
Judge of angels and of men,
Hear us now, and hear us then;
Jesus, hear and save!
