Have Mercy On Us, O My Lord

Composed by Aaron Copland (1900-1990). Performed by the Chestnut Street Singers in "I Hear America Singing."

Have mercy on us, O my Lord.
Be not far from us, O my God.
Give ear unto our humble prayer.
Attend and judge us in Thy might.
Uphold us with Thy guiding hand.
Restore us to Thy kindly light.
Be not far off, my God.
My heart is sorely pained
and calls on Thee in vain.
Cast me not away from salvation.
Then we shall trust in Thee,
then we will bear our place.
