Isaac Williams‡, 1802–65.
LORD, in this thy mercy’s day,
Ere it pass for ay away,
On our knees we fall and pray.
2 Holy Jesu, grant us tears,
Fill us with heart-searching fears,
Ere that awful doom appears.
3 Lord, on us thy Spirit pour,
Kneeling lowly at the door,
Ere it close for evermore.
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 love forgo.
6. Grant us 'neath thy wings a place,
Lest we lose this day of grace,
Ere we shall behold thy face.
