1 O God, Father in heaven,
have mercy upon us.
Your heart, O God, is grieved, we know,
By every evil, every woe;
Upon your cross-forsaken Son
Our death is laid, and peace is won.
2 O Son of God, redeemer of the world,
have mercy upon us.
Your arms extend, O Christ, to save
From sting of death and grasp of grave;
Your scars before the Father move
His heart to mercy at such love.
3 O God, Holy Spirit,
have mercy upon us.
O lavish Giver, come to aid
The feeble child your grace has made.
Now make us grow and help us pray;
Bring joy and comfort; come to stay.
