Composer: | Edwin Drewett |
1 O God of mercy, God of might,
In love and pity infinite,
Teach us, as ever in thy sight,
To live our life to thee.
2 And thou who cam'st on earth to die,
That fallen man might live thereby,
O hear us, for to thee we cry
In hope, O Lord, to thee.
3 Teach us the lesson thou hast taught,
To feel for those thy blood hath bought;
That ev'ry word and deed and thought
May work a work for thee.
4 For they are brethren, far and wide,
Since thou, O Lord, for them hast died;
Then teach us, whatsoe'er betide,
To love them all in thee.
5 In sickness, sorrow, want, or care,
Whate'er it be, 'tis ours to share;
May we, when help is needed, there
Give help as unto thee.
Amen.
