Author: Isaac Williams, 1802-65 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #69 (1986) Meter: 7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Lord, in this thy mercy's day,
Ere it pass for ay away,
On our knees we fall and pray.
2 Lord, on us thy Spirit pour,
Kneeling lowly at the door,
Lest it close for evermore.
3 By thy night of agony,
By thy supplicating cry,
By thy willingness to die.
4 By thy tears of bitter woe,
For Jerusalem below,
Let us not thy love forgo.
5 Grant us 'neath thy wings a place,
Lest we lose the day of grace,
Ere we shall behold thy face.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Year Lent Languages: English Tune Title: ST PHILIP
