Am     Fadd9   C        G      Am        Fadd9      C        G
Jesus, Lord of life and glory, bend from heaven thy gracious ear;
Am        Fadd9   C      G          Am        Fadd9    Am       Fadd9
While our waiting souls adore thee, friend of helpless sinners, hear:

[Verse 2]
Am       Fadd9      C      G          Am       Fadd9     C        G
From the depth of nature's blindness, from the hardening power of sin,
Am       Fadd9  C     G         Am       Fadd9      Am        G
From all malice and unkindness, from the pride that lurks within.

[Refrain]
       G          Am             Fadd9
By thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord
       G          Am             Fadd9      G
By thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord, good Lord

[Verse 3]
Am       Fadd9  C      G        Am     Fadd9  C       G
When temptation sorely presses, in the day of Satan's power,
Am     Fadd9    C      G         Am      Fadd9    Am     Fadd9
In our times of deep distresses, in each dark and trying hour,

[Verse 4]
Am       Fadd9  C        G        Am     Fadd9   C          G
When the world around is smiling, in the time of wealth and ease,
Am      Fadd9    C        G        Am     Fadd9  Am         G
Earthly joys our hearts beguiling, in the day of health and peace.

[Refrain]
       G          Am             Fadd9
By thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord
       G          Am             Fadd9      G
By thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord, good Lord

[Verse 5]
Am     Fadd9 C        G         Am     Fadd9    C         G
In the weary hours of sickness, in the times of grief and pain,
Am      Fadd9    C      G         Am       Fadd9 Am      Fadd9
When we feel our mortal weakness, when all human help is vain,

[Verse 6]
Am     Fadd9  C       G      Am     Fadd9 C        G
In the solemn hour of dying, in the awful judgment day,
Am      Fadd9     C      G      Am        Fadd9     Am       G
May our souls, on thee relying, find thee still our Rock and Stay

[Refrain] (x2)
       G          Am             Fadd9
By thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord
       G          Am             Fadd9      G
By thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord, good Lord
