God of Pity, God of Grace

God of pi­ty

God of grace

When we hum­bly seek Thy face

Bend from Heav’n

Thy dwell­ing place;

Hear

for­give

and save.

When we in Thy tem­ple meet

Spread our wants be­fore Thy feet

Pleading at Thy mer­cy seat

Look from Heav’n and save.

When Thy love our hearts shall fill

And we long to do Thy will

Turning to Thy ho­ly hill

Lord

ac­cept and save.

Should we wan­der from Thy fold

And our love to Thee grow cold

With a pi­ty­ing eye be­hold;

Lord

for­give and save.

Should the hand of sor­row press

Earthly care and want dis­tress

May our souls Thy peace pos­sess;

Jesus

hear and save.

And

whate’er our cry may be

When we lift our hearts to Thee

From our bur­den set us free;

Hear

for­give

and save.
