1 Lord, in this Thy mercy's day,
Ere the time shall pass away,
On our knees we fall and pray.
2 Holy Jesu, grant us tears,
Fill us with heart-searching fears,
Ere that hour of doom appears.
3 Lord, on us Thy Spirit pour,
Kneeling lowly at Thy door,
Ere it closes evermore.
4 By Thy night of agony,
By Thy supplicating cry,
By Thy willingness to die,
5 By Thy tears of bitter woe
For Jerusalem below,
Let us not Thy love forego.
6 Judge and Saviour of our race,
When we see Thee face to face,
Grant us 'neath Thy wings a place.
7 On Thy love we rest alone,
And that love shall then be known
By the pardoned round Thy throne.
