God of mercy throned on high
Appears in 32 hymnals Hymnal Title: Voices of Praise Lyrics: 1 God of mercy throned on high,
Listen from Thy lofty seat;
Hear, O hear our humble cry,
Guide, O guide our wand'ring feet.
2 Young and erring travellers, we
All our dangers do not know;
Scarcely fear the stormy sea,
Hardly feel the tempest blow.
3 Jesus, Lover of the young,
Cleanse us with Thy blood divine;
Ere the tide of sin grow strong,
Save us, keep us, make us Thine!
4 Let us ever hear Thy voice;
Ask Thy counsel every day;
Saints and angels will rejoice,
If we walk in Wisdom's way.
5 Saviour, give us faith, and pour
Hope and love on every soul:
Hope, till time shall be no more;
Love, while endless ages roll.
Amen. Used With Tune: ELEANOR

Henry Neele
1798 - 1828 Person Name: H. Neele Hymnal Title: The Church Hymnal Author of "God of mercy, throned on high" in The Church Hymnal Neele, Henry, son of a map and heraldic engraver in the Strand, London, was born in London, Jan. 29, 1798. He was educated for the Law, and practised as a solicitor. In 1817 he published a volume of Poems, and in 1823 a volume of Dramatic and Miscellaneous Poetry. These were followed by contributions to several magazines; the delivery of Lectures on English Poetry at the Russell, and again at the Western Literary Institution, in 1827; and the publication of his largest work, The Romance of English History, 1827. His mind gave way under the pressure of work, and he died by his own hand, Feb. 7, 1828. His Lectures on English Poetry, with Miscellaneous Tales and Poems, were published posthumously, in 1829. In this work the following "Hymns for Children" are found:—
1. O Thou! Who sittest enthroned on high. Child's Prayer.
2. O Thou! Who makest the sun to shine. Child's Prayer.
3. God of mercy, throned on high. Child's Prayer. Usually given with the same first line but altered as in E. Bickersteth's Christian Psalmody, 1833. No. 438
4. Remember Him, for He is great. Remember thy Creator. Of these hymns No. 3 is widely used.

Person Name: Unknown Hymnal Title: The Church Hymnal Composer of "ELEANOR" in The Church Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
