MHB 682 –  GOD of pity, God of grace

Methodist-Hymns-682

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 Thy 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.
