God of all comfort be near us we pray When sorrow is rising and hope falls away We lift up our voices, and boldly we cry: Come bind up our hearts, Lord, with the mercies of Christ God of compassion we bring you our tears Give ear to our groaning and quiet our fears Draw near in our darkness and show us your light And banish the shadow with the mercies of Christ God of the nail-wounds, our griefs you have known You entered our weakness, the cross was your throne You stepped down from heaven to lift us on high How tender, how mighty are the mercies of Christ God of all glory, whom angels still praise Your goodness will follow us all of our days We look for the morning when dawn lights the sky And death is defeated by the mercies of Christ mattsearles.bandcamp.com/track/the-mercies-of-christ
