The Jewel ‎#45

45. God of Mercy, Throne on High

1 God of mercy, thron'd on high,
Listen from Thy lofty seat;
Hear, oh hear our feeble cry;
Guide, O guide our wand'ring feet.

2 Young and erring travellers, we
All our dangers do not know;
Scarcely fear the stormy sea,
Hardly feel the tempest blow.

3 Jesus, Lover of the young,
Cleanse us with Thy Blood divine
Ere the tide of sin grow strong,
Save us, keep us, make us Thine.

4 Saviour, give us faith, and pour
Hope and Love on every soul,
Hope, till time shall be no more;
Love, while endless ages roll. Amen.
