Mercy in our time of failure

Mercy in our time of failure,
grace to help in time of need:
this sure promise of our Saviour
is a word that we may plead.

2. He has passed into the heavens,
he is seated on the throne,
ever for us interceding,
always caring for his own.

3. There is none he will not welcome,
no request he cannot meet;
let us not be slow to ask him,
lay our burdens at his feet.

4. We can never come too often,
never with a need too great,
never with a prayer too simple;
only fear to come too late!

5. Daily on our pilgrim journey
praise him for his matchless grace,
live for his immortal glory
till in heaven we see his face.
