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; In 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: In 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, In 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
