"Jesus, the Son David, have mercy
on us - Matt. 9:7
1. THY mercies we beseech Thee O our Lord,
Shower them on Thy Children
All birds that fly and small ants that do walk
Receive them plentifully.
Chorus: Mercies! Mercies! Thy mercies we
beseech Thee O our Lord descend;
All birds that fly and small ants that
do walk Receive them plentifully.
2. The sun controls the day and moon the night,
All by Thy great Command
The time of rain and the time of harvest.
O Lord, Thou ordained them.
Chorus: Mercies! Mercies!...
3. When sin and Satan wages wholesale war,
They will never triumph;
ln vain they continue their wholesale war,
Lord shall deliver us.
Chorus: Mercies! Mercies!...
4. David will never forget Thy mercies
Received on Goliath;
Daniel in Lion’s den remember Thee,
Thou Lord protected him.
Chorus: Mercies! Mercies!...
5. This type of mercies we beseech Thee Lord,
Pour them all over us:
ln the midst of our foes make us progress
For Thy own great glory.
Chorus: Mercies! Mercies!...
6. Mercies bestowed upon Bathemaeus,
The same we ask from Thee
That all the sick in body and spirit,
May all receive healing.
Chorus: Mercies! Mercies!...
7. Esther the queen would not ever forget
At time of temptation,
ln prayers overcame her enemies,
Thou granted her victory.
Chorus: Mercies! Mercies!...
8. Enemies within can’t have power on you
If your trust is in God;
Witches, wizard and all their wickedness
Efforts shall come to naught.
Chorus: Mercies! Mercies! Thy mercies we
beseech Thee O our Lord descend;
All birds that fly and small ants that
do walk Receive them plentifully. Amen
