Hymns of the Greek Church ‎#84

84. God of all Grace, Thy mercy send

Deacon. Let us complete our evening supplication to the Lord.
Choir. Lord, have mercy upon us.

God of all Grace, Thy mercy send;
Let Thy protecting arm defend;
Save us, and keep us to the end.
Have mercy, Lord.

And through the coming hours of night,
Fill us, we pray, with holy light;
Keep us all sinless in Thy sight.
Grant this, O Lord.

May some bright messenger abide
For ever by Thy servants’ side,
A faithful guardian and guide.
Grant this, O Lord.

From every sin in mercy free,
Let heart and conscience stainless be,
That we may live henceforth for Thee.
Grant this, O Lord.

We would not be by care opprest,
But in Thy love and wisdom rest;—
Give what Thou seest to be best.
Grant this, O Lord.

While we of every sin repent,
Let our remaining years be spent
In holiness and sweet content.
Grant this, O Lord.

And when the end of life is near,
May we, unshamed and void of fear,
Wait for the Judgment to appear.
Grant this, O Lord.
