450 O God of mercy, God of might,

1 O God of mercy, God of might, In love and pity infinite, Teach us, as ever in Thy sight, To live our life to Thee. 2 And Thou who cam'st on earth to die, That fallen man might live thereby, O hear us, for to Thee we cry; In hope, O Lord, to Thee. 3 Teach us the lesson Thou hast taught, To feel for those Thy blood hath bought, That every word, and deed, and thought, May work a work for Thee. 4 For all are brethren, far and wide, Since Thou, O Lord, for all hast died; Then teach us, whatsoe'er betide, To love them all in Thee. 5 In sickness, sorrow, want or care, Whate'er it be, 'tis ours to share; May we, where help is needed, there Give help as unto Thee. 6 And may Thy Holy Spirit move All those who live, to live in love, Till Thou shalt greet in heaven above All those who give to Thee.
