Bishop Heber
LORD of mercy and of might,
Of mankind the life and light;
Maker, Teacher, Infinite,
Jesus, hear and save.
2
Who, when sin’s tremendous doom
Gave creation to the tomb,
Didst not scorn the virgin’s womb,
Jesus, hear and save.
3
Mighty Monarch, Saviour mild,
Humbled to a mortal child,
Captive, beaten, bound, reviled,
Jesus, hear and save.
4
Throned above celestial things,
Borne aloft on angels’ wings,
Lord of lords, and King of kings,
Jesus, hear and save.
5
Soon to come to earth again,
Judge of angels and of men,
Hear us now, and hear us then,
Jesus, hear and save.
