Be Merciful, Be Gracious is a chorus from Edward Elgar’s ‘The Dream of Gerontius’, scored for SATB Voices and Organ or Piano accompaniment in this Novello edition.

The Dream of Gerontius, Op. 38, is a work for Voices and orchestra in two parts composed by Edward Elgar in 1900, to text from the poem by John Henry Newman. It relates the journey of a pious man'ssoul from his deathbed to his judgment before God and settling into Purgatory.
