The Hymnal ‎#461

461. Depth of mercy,! can there be

1. Depth of mercy! can there be
Mercy still reserved for me?
Can my God His wrath forbear,
Me, the chief of sinners, spare?

2. I have long withstood His grace,
Long provoked Him to His face,
Would not hearken to His calls,
Grieved Him by a thousand falls.

3. Kindled His relentings are:
Me He now delights to spare;
Cries, "How shall I give Thee up?"
Lets the lifted thunder drop.

4. There for me the Saviour stands,
Shows His wounds and spreads His hands.
God is Love; I know, I feel;
Jesus weeps, but loves me still.

Amen.
