Hymn 232
Lord, in this Thy mercy’s day
Meter: 7.7.7.
Scripture: Joel 2:17
1
Lord, in this Thy mercy’s day,
Ere for us it pass away,
On our knees we fall and pray.
2
Holy Jesus, grant us tears,
Fill us with heart searching fears,
Ere the hour of doom appears.
3
Lord, on us Thy Spirit pour,
Kneeling lowly at Thy door,
Ere it close forevermore.
4
By Thy night of agony,
By Thy supplicating cry,
By Thy willingness to die.
5
By Thy tears of bitter woe,
For Jerusalem below,
Let us not Thy peace forgo.
6
Judge and Saviour of our race,
when we see Thee face to face
Grant us ’neath Thy wings a place.
7
On Thy love we rest alone,
And that love shall then be known,
By the pardoned, round Thy throne.
