About This Hymn
This traditional English hymn is a simple, earnest cry for God’s mercy, shaped by the spirit of David’s plea in Psalm 51. It reflects the timeless longing of believers who come before God with humility, seeking forgiveness, cleansing, and renewed fellowship with Him. The repeated petition, “Lord, have mercy upon us,” captures the heart of repentance and the confidence that God is gracious to all who call upon His name. This hymn has been used in both public worship and private devotion, often during times of confession or reflection. Its beauty lies in its brevity and sincerity, since it points the soul away from self-reliance and toward the compassion of the Lord, who delights in showing mercy. In these simple words, worshippers find a pathway to spiritual restoration, trusting that the Lord hears and responds with steadfast love.
