English text <poem> Sweet is Thy mercy, Lord! Before Thy mercy seat, My soul adoring pleads Thy word, And owns Thy mercy sweet.
Where'er Thy Name is blest, Where'er Thy people meet, There I delight in Thee to rest, And find thy mercy sweet.
Light Thou our weary way, Lead Thou my wand'ring feet; That while we stay on earth we may Still find Thy mercy sweet.
Thus shall the heav'nly host, Hear all our songs repeat, To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; Thy mercy sweet,
Our joy, Thy mercy sweet.
Amen.
