Author: John Taylor Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #588 (1886) Lyrics: 1 God of mercy, God of grace,
Hear our sad, repentant song;
Sorrow dwells on every face,
Penitence on every tongue.
2 Deep regret for follies past,
Talents wasted, time misspent;
Hearts debased by worldly cares,
Thankless for the blessings lent;
3 Foolish fears and fond desires,
Vain regrets for things as vain;
Lips too seldom taught to praise,
Oft to murmur and complain;
4 These, and every secret fault,
Filled with grief and shame we own;
Humbled at thy feet we lie,
Seeking pardon from thy throne. Topics: The Christian Unfaithfulness Lamented Tune Title: LOVEST THOU ME?
God of mercy, God of grace
