LYRICS Hymn Text: Hear Us O Lord
[Stanza 1]
King high exalted, all the world’s redeemer,
To Thee Thy children lift their eyes with weeping;
Christ, we implore thee, hear our supplications.
[Chorus]
Hear us, O Lord, and have mercy upon us,
For we have sinned against Thee
[Stanza 2]
Right hand of Godhead, headstone of the corner,
Path of salvation, gate of heaven’s kingdom,
Cleanse Thou Thy people,
stained with their transgressions
[Stanza 3]
We, they eternal majesty entreating,
Make lamentation in Thy holy hearing;
Gracious, grant Thou to our sins indulgence
[Stanza 4]
Humbly confess we,
who have sinned against Thee,
All our misdoings, hidden now no longer,
May Thy redeeming mercy find us pardon
[Stanza 5]
Led away captive, guiltless, unresisting,
Brought by false witness unto death for sinners,
Christ do Thou keep us whom thy blood
hath ransomed
