Have mercy, O, have mercy on us,
Show us kindness, grant us grace.
Have mercy, O, have mercy on us,
Show us kindness, find our place.
Abandoned by the hands that made,
We, the forlorn, lost embrace.
Have mercy, O, have mercy on us,
Show us kindness, find our place.
Abandoned by the hands that made,
We, the forlorn, lost embrace.
Have mercy, O, have mercy on us,
Show us kindness, find our place.
Offer us a touch of love,
We, the bereft, can't find our ground.
Offer us a touch of love,
Our anchors lost, we can't be found.
Fortune's cruel tide has sunk us low,
We, the children, lost and bound.
The Creator's face, it turns away,
Our destinies, no comfort found.
Abandoned by the hands that made,
We, the forlorn, lost embrace.
Have mercy, O, have mercy on us,
Show us kindness, find our place.
Never a lullaby we heard,
Never rocked in cradle's sway.
Never a lullaby we heard,
Never rocked in cradle's play.
Fate decreed this wasn't ours,
Mother's arms we couldn't stay.
In what ill hour were we born,
To such a desolate display?
Abandoned by the hands that made,
We, the forlorn, lost embrace.
Have mercy, O, have mercy on us,
Show us kindness, find our place.
Abandoned by the hands that made,
We, the forlorn, lost embrace.
Have mercy, O, have mercy on us,
Show us kindness, find our place.
Have mercy, O, have mercy on us,
Show us kindness, find our place.
Have mercy, O, have mercy on us,
Show us kindness, find our place.
