GOD OF MERCY by Edmund Vaughan — Lyrics

VERSE 1 God of mercy and compassion, Look with pity upon me, Father let me call thee Father, 'Tis thy child returns to thee. VERSE 2 By my sins I have deserved, Death and endless misery, Hell with all its pains and torments and for all eternity. VERSE 3 By my sins I have abandoned, Right and claim to Heav'n above,

About GOD OF MERCY

"God of Mercy and Compassion" is a deeply moving Lenten hymn that calls us back to the heart of repentance. The verses walk us through a sincere acknowledgment of our failings, recognizing what our sins have cost, while keeping our eyes fixed on the cross of Calvary. It is a song that humbles the soul, making it a perfect fit for penitential services, the Stations of the Cross, or as a reflective hymn during the season of Lent.

When the choir reaches the chorus, the harmony swells into a direct, earnest plea: "Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy, let me not implore in vain." It is a moment where the whole congregation can join in a shared resolution to turn away from sin. Singing this piece requires a gentle, reverent tone, allowing the weight of the words to truly resonate in the church.
