[146]Capetown:

Freidrich Filitz, 1847

Reginald Heber, 1827; Published after his death.

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.

Amen.
