Author: Eliza F. Morris Appears in 45 hymnals 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 we in Thy temple meet,
Spread our wants before Thy feet,
Pleading at the mercy-seat:
Look from heaven and save.
3 When Thy love our hearts shall fill,
And we long to do Thy will,
Turning to Thy holy hill:
Lord, accept and save.
4 Should we wander from Thy fold,
And our love to Thee grow cold,
With a pitying eye behold;
Lord, forgive and save.
5 Should the hand of sorrow press,
Earthly care and want distress,
May our souls Thy peace possess;
Jesus, hear and save.
6 And whate'er our cry may be,
When we lift our hearts to Thee,
From our burden set us free;
Hear, forgive, and save.
Amen. Topics: Petition Used With Tune: PARACLETE
