Have mercy Lord
on us we pray
Thy grace to us reveal;
O turn Thy plagues from us away
Tho’ we deserve them well.
Thy punishments are justly due
And answer to our crimes!
And we are made to feel them too
In these distressing times.
Lord
what destruction death has made
How has it swept our towns;
So many numbered with the dead
In neighboring places round.
Death visits us in all our homes
And there makes his abode:
And hurries mortals to their tombs
That sink beneath his load.
Well may we sorrow
weep and mourn
And pray with all our heart:
That God in mercy may return
And bid our plagues depart.
