Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: Hymns of the Greek Church #81 (1900) Meter: 8.8.8.7 First Line: Lord, to our humble prayers attend Lyrics:
Lord, to our humble prayers attend,
Let Thou Thy peace from heaven descend,
And to our souls salvation send.
Have mercy, Lord, upon us.
Rule in our hearts, Thou Prince of Peace,
The welfare of Thy Church increase,
And bid all strife and discord cease.
Have mercy, Lord, upon us.
To all who meet for worship here,
Do Thou in faithfulness draw near;
Inspire with faith and godly fear.
Have mercy, Lord, upon us.
O let Thy priests be clothed with might,
To rule within Thy Church aright,
That they may serve as in Thy sight.
Have mercy, Lord, upon us.
The sovereign ruler of our land,
Protect by Thine Almighty hand,
And all around the throne who stand.
Have mercy, Lord, upon us.
In time of war be near to aid,
Strong be the arm for battle made,
Prostrate be every foeman laid.
Have mercy, Lord, upon us.
Let clouds and sunshine bless the earth,
Give fruits and flowers a timely birth,
Our harvests crown with peaceful mirth.
Have mercy, Lord, upon us.
Let voyagers by land and sea
In danger’s hour in safety be;
The suffering and the captives free.
Have mercy, Lord, upon us.
Around us let Thy shield be cast,
Till wrath and danger are o’erpast,
And tribulation’s bitter blast.
Have mercy, Lord, upon us.
