Lyrics


1 Be merciful to me, O God,

Thy mercy unto me

Do Thou extend; because my soul

Doth put its trust in Thee:


2 Yea, in the shadow of Thy wings

My refuge I will place,

Until these sad calamities

Do wholly overpass.


3 My cry I will cause to ascend

Unto the Lord most high;

To God, who doth all things for me

Perform most perfectly.


4 O Lord, exalted be Thy name

Above the heav’ns to stand:

Do Thou Thy glory far advance

Above both sea and land.
