O king of mercy, from Thy throne on high

1.

O king of mercy, from Thy throne on high

Look down in love, and hear our humble

2.

Thou tender Shepherd of the blood bought sheep

Thy feeble wandr’ing flocks in safety keep

3.

O gentle Saviour, by thy death we live

To contrite sinners life eternal give

4.

Thou art the bread of heav’n, on Thee we feed

Be near to help our souls in time of need

5.

Thou art mourner’s stay, the sinner’s friend

Sweet fount of joy and blessings without end

6.

O come and cheer us with Thy heav’nly grace

Reveal the brightness of Thy glorious face

7.

In cooling cloud by day, in fire by night

Be near our steps, and make our darkness light

8.

Go where we go, abide where we abide

In life, in death, our comfort, strength and Guide

9.

O lead us daily with Thine eye of love

And bring us safety to our home above
