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: By thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord. From the depths of nature's blindness, From the hardening power of sin, From all malice and unkindness, From the pride that lurks within: When temptation sorely presses, In the day of Satan's power, In our times of deep distresses, In each dark and trying hour: 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: 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: In the solemn hour of dying, In the aweful judgement day, May our souls, on thee relying, Find thee still our Rock and stay: By thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord. |
Rex decore, quo spiramus, nos caelestis audias; quippe tu, qui te colamus, peccatores nos amas: qui sis clemens, libera nos, Domine. Caecitatis quod innatae sumus atque sceleris, moti nos crudelitate intus et superbiis, Cum gravissime temptemur dominante Satana cumque curis cruciemur nocte sub nigerrima: Mundi bonis otiantes cum circumdati sumus, sine morbis exultantes, gaudiis fallentibus, Medicinae nos egentes quando dolor opprimit, quis, ut sumus impotentes, ops humana deficit, Morientes, cumque damus rationem ludici, usque in te nos fulciamus ut in saxo stabili: qui sis clemens, libera nos, Domine. |
