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
The Mercy of God
There's a wideness in God's mercy
Author: Dr. F. W. Faber, 1814-1863 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #36 (1917) Topics: God Mercy of; Mercy of God Lyrics: 1. There's a wideness in God's mercy,
Like the wideness of the sea;
There's a kindness in His justice,
Which is more than liberty.
2. There is no place where earth's sorrows
Are more felt than up in heaven;
There is no place where earth's failings
Have such kindly judgment given.
3. There is welcome for the sinner,
And more graces for the good;
There is mercy with the Saviour;
There is healing in His blood.
4. 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. There is plentiful redemption
In the blood that has been shed,
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the Head.
6. 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?
Souls of men, why will ye scatter
Like a crowd of frightened sheep?
Foolish hearts, why will ye wander
From a love so true and deep? Languages: English Tune Title: NEWTON FERNS

The Mercy of God Besought
Hymnal: The Psalter #110 (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Mercy of God Prayer for First Line: Thy tender mercies, O my Lord Lyrics: 1 Thy tender mercies, O my Lord,
Withhold not I implore;
But let Thy kindness and Thy truth
Preserve me evermore.
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.
