Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

Jesus, Lord of life and glory 
Jesus, Lord of life and glory, bend from heaven thy gracious ear; while our waiting souls adore thee, friend of helpless sinners, hear: 
Refrain: by thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord. 
From the depth of nature's blindness, from the hardening power of sin, from all malice and unkindness, from the pride that lurks within, 
Refrain: by thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord. 
When temptation sorely presses, in the day of Satan's power, in our times of deep distresses, in each dark and trying hour, 
Refrain: by thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord. 
When the world around is smiling, in the time of wealth and ease, earthly joys our hearts beguiling, in the day of health and peace, 
Refrain: by thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord. 
In the weary hours of sickness, in the times of grief and pain, when we feel our mortal weakness, when all human help is vain, 
Refrain: by thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord. 
In the solemn hour of dying, in the awful judgment day, may our souls, on thee relying, find thee still our Rock and Stay; 
Refrain: by thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord.
