ὡς θεῖος ποταμὸς, τοῦ ἐλέους ὑπάρχων

I A stream of mercy springs O Christ our Lord from Thee; Compassionate art Thou, And full of sympathy.

II Let now our eyes be turned, To where that mercy flows; Reveal Thy love divine, And heal our smarting woes.

III O may that wondrous stream Flow plenteously apace; That we may cleansed be, We now entreat Thy grace.
