Show Pity, Lord
Author: David Thomas Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9418 Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Show pity, Lord, for we are frail and faint Lyrics: 1 Show pity, Lord, for we are frail and faint;
We fade away, O list to our complaint;
We fade away like flowers in the sun,
We just begin, and then our work is done.
2 Show pity, Lord, our souls are sore distressed;
As troubled seas, our natures have no rest;
As troubled seas, that surging, beat the shore,
And throb and heave, ever and evermore.
3 Show pity, Lord, our grief is in our sin;
We would be cleansed, O make us pure within;
We would be cleansed, for this we cry to Thee;
Thy word of love can make the conscience free.
4 Show pity, Lord: Inspire our hearts with love;
That holy love which draws the soul above;
That holy love which makes us one with Thee,
And with Thy saints through all eternity. Languages: English Tune Title: AUCKLAND

Frederick C. Maker
1844 - 1927 Composer of "AUCKLAND" in The Hymnal Frederick C. Maker (b. Bristol, England, August 6, 1844; d. January 1, 1927) received his early musical training as a chorister at Bristol Cathedral, England. He pursued a career as organist and choirmaster—most of it spent in Methodist and Congregational churches in Bristol. His longest tenure was at Redland Park Congregational Church, where he was organist from 1882-1910. Maker also conducted the Bristol Free Church Choir Association and was a long-time visiting professor of music at Clifton College. He wrote hymn tunes, anthems, and a cantata, Moses in the Bulrushes.
