Author: John Newton Appears in 243 hymnals First Line: “Mercy, O Thou Son of David,” Lyrics: 1 “Mercy, O Thou Son of David,”
Thus poor blind Bartimeus prayed,
“Others by Thy Word are saved,
Now to me afford Thine aid.”
2 Many for his crying chid him,
But he called the louder still,
Till the gracious Savior bid him,
“Come and ask me what you will.” Used With Tune: CHARLESTOWN
