In Boundless Mercy

Author: Emanuel Swedenborg, 1688-1772 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 39 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: In boundless mercy, gracious Lord, appear Lyrics: 1. In boundless mercy, gracious Lord, appear, Darkness dispel, the humble mourner cheer; Vain thoughts remove, melt down the flinty heart, Draw every soul to choose the better part. 2. Thy presence fills the universal space, Thy grace appears to all the human race, Oh! visit us with light and life divine, Fill every soul, for every soul is Thine. 3. Thou, blessèd Jesus, art my Lord, my Love: Thou art my King: from Thee I would not move, Hence earthly charms, far, far, from me depart, Nor seek to draw from my dear Lord my heart. 4. That uncreated beauty, which has gained My ravished heart, has all my glory stained: Thy loveliness my soul has prepossessed, And left no room for any other guest. Used With Tune: SKARA

Author of "Father, the Watches of the Night Are O'er" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
