Your mercy, my God, is the theme of my song

Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 96 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 2:4 Lyrics: 1 Your mercy, my God, is the theme of my song, the joy of my heart, and the boast of my tongue; your free grace alone, from the first to the last, has won my affections, and bound my soul fast. 2 Your mercy in Jesus has freed me from hell; its glories I'll sing and its wonders I'll tell; this Jesus my friend, when he hung on the tree, there opened the channel of mercy for me. 3 Your mercy is more than a match for my heart, which wonders to feel its own hardness depart; in awe at your goodness, I fall to the ground, and weep to the praise of the mercy I found. 4 The door of your mercy stands open to all— the poor and the needy, whoever shall call; no sinner who comes seeking mercy today is ever by Jesus sent empty away. 5 Great Father of mercies, your goodness I own, and the covenant love of your crucified Son: all praise to the Spirit, whose whisper divine seals mercy and pardon and righteousness mine.

Eternal Light! Eternal Light!

Author: Thomas Binney, 1798-1874 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 90 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 2:18 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Light! Eternal Light! How pure that soul must be, when, placed within thy searching sight, it shrinks not, but with calm delight can live and look on thee. 2 The spirits that surround thy throne may bear the burning bliss; but surely that is theirs alone, since they have never, never known a fallen world like this, 3 O how shall I, whose native sphere is dark, whose mind is dim, before the Ineffable appear, and on my naked spirit bear the uncreated beam? 4 There is a way for man to rise to that sublime abode; an offering and a sacrifice, a Holy Spirit's energies, an Advocate with God: 5 These, these prepare us for the sight of holiness above: the sons of ignorance and night may dwell in the eternal light, through the eternal Love!
