Words: Reginald Heber, 1811.

Lord of mercy and of might,
Of mankind the Life and Light,
Maker, Teacher, Infinite;
Jesus, hear and save!
Strong Creator, Savior mild,
Humbled to a mortal child,
Captive, beaten, bound, reviled;
Jesus, hear and save!
Throned above celestial things,
Borne aloft on angels' wings,
Lord of lords and King of kings;
Jesus, hear and save!
Soon to come to earth again,
Judge of angels and of men,
Hear us now, and hear us then;
Jesus, hear and save!
