Jesus, Lord of life and glory, bend from heaven thy gracious ear;
AmFadd9CGAmFadd9AmFadd9
While our waiting souls adore thee, friend of helpless sinners, hear:
[Verse 2]
AmFadd9CGAmFadd9CG
From the depth of nature's blindness, from the hardening power of sin,
AmFadd9CGAmFadd9AmG
From all malice and unkindness, from the pride that lurks within.
[Refrain]
GAmFadd9
By thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord
GAmFadd9G
By thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord, good Lord
[Verse 3]
AmFadd9CGAmFadd9CG
When temptation sorely presses, in the day of Satan's power,
AmFadd9CGAmFadd9AmFadd9
In our times of deep distresses, in each dark and trying hour,
[Verse 4]
AmFadd9CGAmFadd9CG
When the world around is smiling, in the time of wealth and ease,
AmFadd9CGAmFadd9AmG
Earthly joys our hearts beguiling, in the day of health and peace.
[Refrain]
GAmFadd9
By thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord
GAmFadd9G
By thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord, good Lord
[Verse 5]
AmFadd9CGAmFadd9CG
In the weary hours of sickness, in the times of grief and pain,
AmFadd9CGAmFadd9AmFadd9
When we feel our mortal weakness, when all human help is vain,
[Verse 6]
AmFadd9CGAmFadd9CG
In the solemn hour of dying, in the awful judgment day,
AmFadd9CGAmFadd9AmG
May our souls, on thee relying, find thee still our Rock and Stay
[Refrain] (x2)
