Author: Eliza Fanny Morris (1821-1874) Hymnal: The Hymnal #252 (1950) 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 Thy love our hearts shall fill,
And we long to do Thy will,
Turning to Thy holy hill,
Lord, accept 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 Should the hand of sorrow press,
Earthly care and want distress,
May our souls Thy peace possess;
Jesus, hear and save.
5 And, whate'er our cry may be,
When we lift our hearts to Thee,
From our burden set us free;
Hear, forgive, and save.
