Come, Lord, in Mercy Come Again

lyricist: Nathaniel Colver, 1848
Composer: Christopher Tye, 1533

Come

Lord

in mer­cy come again

With Thy con­vert­ing pow­er;

The fields of Zi­on thirst for rain

O send a gra­cious show­er!

Our hearts are filled with sore dis­tress

While sin­ners all around

Are press­ing on to end­less death

And no re­lief is found.

Dear Sav­ior

come with quick­en­ing pow­er

Thy mourn­ing people cry;

Salvation bring in mer­cy’s hour

Nor let the sin­ner die.

Once more let con­verts throng Thy house

And shouts of vic­to­ry raise;

Then shall our griefs be turned to joy

And sighs to songs of praise.
