Author: Eliza Fanny Morris Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #278 (1917) Meter: 7.7.7.5 Lyrics: 1 God of pity, God of grace:
When we humbly seek Thy face,
Bend from heaven, Thy dwelling-place;
Hear, forgive, and save.
2 When we in Thy temple meet
Spread our wants before Thy feet,
Pleading at Thy mercy-seat:
Look from heaven and save.
3 Should we wander from Thy fold,
And our love to Thee grow cold,
With a pitying eye behold;
Lord, forgive and save.
4 And whate’er our cry may be,
When we lift our hearts to Thee,
From our burden set us free;
Hear, forgive, and save.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving Languages: English Tune Title: IRENE
