The Mercy of God

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #XV (1792) Topics: Mercy of God First Line: Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song Lyrics: 1 Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song, The joy of my heart, and the boast of my tongue Thy free grace alone, from the first to the last Hath won my affections and bound my soul fast. 2 Without thy sweet mercy I could not live here Sin soon would reduce me to utter despair; But, thro' thy free goodness, my spirits revive, And he that first made me, still keeps me alive. 3 Thy mercy is more than a match for my heart Which wonders to feel its own hardness depart Dissolv'd by thy goodness, I fall to the ground And weep to the praise of the mercy I found. 4 The door of thy mercy stands open all day To th' poor and the needy, who knock by the way; No sinner shall ever be empty sent back, Who comes seeking mercy for Jesus's sake. 5 Thy mercy is endless, most tender and free; No sinner need doubt, since 'tis given to me; No merit will buy it, nor fears stop its course; Good works are the fruits of its freeness and force. 6 Thy mercy in Jesus exempts me from hell; Its glories I'll sing: and its wonders I'll tell: 'Twas Jesus my friend when he hung on the tree That open'd the channel of mercy for me. 7 Great Father of mercies, thy goodness I own, And covenant love of thy crucify'd son: All praise to the spirit whose whisper divine Seals mercy and pardon and righteousness mine. Scripture: Psalm 89:1 Languages: English

For the love of God is broader Than the measure of man's mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. 5.

If our love were but more simple, We should take Him at His word, And our lives would be all sunshine In the favour of our Lord. In many editions the hymn begins with the following stanzas: Was there ever kindest shepherd Half so gentle, half so sweet, As the Saviour who would have us Come and gather round His feet?

For countless ills have compassed me, My sinful deeds arise; Yea, they have overtaken me; I dare not raise my eyes. 2 My sins are more than I can count, My heart has failed for grief; Be pleased, O Lord, to rescue me, O haste to my relief. Be those who seek to hurt my soul Dismayed and put to flight, And they themselves be put to shame Who in my woe delight. 3 Let all who seek Thee now rejoice, Yea, glad in Thee abide. And, loving Thy salvation, say, The Lord be magnified. My lowly state and bitter need The Lord has not forgot; Thou art my Saviour and my help, Come, Lord, and tarry not.
