Psalm 89 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 78 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 89 First Line: My never-ceasing songs shall show Lyrics: My never-ceasing songs shall show The mercies of the Lord; And make succeeding ages know How faithful is his word. The sacred truths his lips pronounce Shall firm as heav'n endure; And if he speak a promise once, Th' eternal grace is sure. How long the race of David held The promised Jewish throne! But there's a nobler cov'nant sealed To David's greater Son. His seed for ever shall possess A throne above the skies; The meanest subject of his grace Shall to that glory rise. Lord God of hosts, thy wondrous ways Are sung by saints above; And saints on earth their honors raise To thy unchanging love.

Thy Mercies, Lord, shall be my Song

Appears in 22 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 89 Lyrics: 1 Thy Mercies, Lord, shall be my Song, My Song on them shall ever dwell; To Ages yet unborn, my Tongue Thy never-failing Truth shall tell. 2 I have affirm'd and still maintain, Thy Mercy shall for ever last; Thy Truth that does the Heav'ns sustain, Like them shall stand for ever fast. 3 Thus spak'st thou by thy Prophet's Voice; "With David I a League have made; "To him, my Servant, and my Choice, "By solemn Oath this Grant convey'd; 4 "While Earth, and Seas, and Skies endure, "Thy Seed shall in my Sight remain; "To them thy Throne I will ensure, "They shall to endless Ages reign." 5 For such stupendous Truth and Love, Both Heav'n and Earth just Praises owe, By Choirs of Angels sung above, And by assembled Saints below. 6 What Seraph of Celestial Birth To vie with Isr'el's God shall dare? Or who among the Gods of Earth, With our Almighty Lord compare? 7 With Rev'rence and Religious Dread, His Saints should to his Temple press; His Fear thro' all their Hearts should spread, Who his Almighty Name confess. 8 Lord God of Armies, who can boast Of Strength or Pow'r, like thine renown'd? Of such a num'rous Faithful Host, As that which does thy Throne surround? 9 Thou dost the lawless Sea controul, And change the prospect of the Deep; Thou mak'st the sleeping Billows roul, Thou mak'st the rolling Billows sleep. 10 Thou brak'st in pieces Rahab's Pride, And did'st oppressing Pow'r disarm: Thy scatter'd Foes have dearly try'd The Force of thy resistless Arm. 11 In Thee the sov'reign Right remains Of Earth and Heav'n; thee, Lord, alone The World and all that it contains, Their Maker and Preserver own. 12 The Poles on which the Globe does rest, Were form'd by thy creating Voice; Tabor and Hermon, East and West In thy sustaining Pow'r rejoice. 13 Thy Arm is mighty, strong thy Hand, Yet, Lord, thou dost with Justice reign; 14 Possest of absolute Command, Thou Truth and Mercy dost maintain. 15 Happy, thrice happy they, who hear Thy sacred Trumpet's joyful Sound; Who may at Festivals appear, With thy most glorious Presence crown'd. 16 Thy Saints shall always be o'erjoy'd, Who on thy sacred Name rely; And, in thy Righteousness employ'd, Above their Foes be rais'd on high. 17 For in thy Strength they shall advance, Whose Conquests from thy Favour spring: 18 The Lord of Hosts is our Defence, And Isr'el's God our Isr'el's King. 19 Thus spak'st thou by thy Prophet's Voice, "A mighty Champion I will send; "From Judah's Tribe have I made Choice "Of one who shall the rest defend. 20 "My Servant David I have found, "With holy Oil anointed him; 21 "Him shall the Hand support that crown'd, "And guard that gave the Diadem. 22 "No Prince from him shall Tribute force, "No son of Strife shall him annoy; 23 "His spiteful Foes I will disperse, "And them before his Face destroy. 24 "My Truth and Grace shall him sustain; "His Armies, in well order'd Ranks, 25 "Shall conquer, from the Tyrian Main "To Tigris and Euphrates Banks. 26 "Me for his Father he shall take, "His God and Rock of Safety call; 27 "Him I my first-born Son will make, "And earthly Kings his Subjects all. 28 "To him my Mercy I'll secure, "My Cov'nant make for ever fast; 29 "His Seed for ever shall endure, "His Throne, till Heav'n dissolve, shall last. Part II 30 "But if his Heirs my law forsake, "And from my sacred Precepts stray; 31 "If they my righteous Statutes break, "Nor strictly my Commands obey; 32 "Their Sins I'll visit with a Rod, "And for their Folly make them smart; 33 "Yet will not cease to be their God, "Nor from my Truth, like them, depart. 34 'My cov'nant I will ne'er revoke, "But in Remembrance fast retain; "The Thing that once my Lips have spoke "Shall in eternal Force remain. 35 "Once have I sworn, but once for all, "And made my Holiness the tie, "That I my Grant will ne'er recall, "Nor to my Servant David lie. 36 "Whose Throne and Race the constant Sun "Shall, like his Course, establish'd see: 37 "Of this my Oath, thou conscious Moon, "In Heav'n my faithful Witness be." 38 Such was thy gracious Promise, Lord, But thou hast now our Tribes forsook, Thy own Anointed hast abhorr'd, And turn'd on him thy wrathful Look. 39 Thou seemest to have render'd void The Cov'nant with thy Servant made, Thou hast his Dignity destroy'd, And in the Dust his Honour laid. 40 Of strong Holds thou hast him bereft, And brought his Bulwarks to decay; 41 His frontier Coasts defenceeless left, A public Scorn, and common Prey. 42 His Ruin does glad Triumphs yield To Foes advanc'd by Thee to Might; 43 Thou hast his conqu'ring Sword unsteel'd, His Valour turn'd to shameful Flight. 44 His Glory is to Darkness fled, His Throne is levll'd with the Ground; 45 His Youth to wretched Bondage led, With Shame o'erwhelm'd & Sorrow drown'd. 46 How long shall we thy Absence mourn? Wilt thou for ever, Lord, retire? Shall thy consuming Anger burn 'Till that and we at once expire? 47 Consider, Lord, how short a Space Thou dost for mortal Life ordain; No Method to prolong the Race, But loading it with Grief and Pain. 48 What Man is he that can controul Death's strict unalterable Doom? Or rescue from the Grave his soul, The Grave that must Mankind entomb? 49 Lord, where's thy Love, thy boundless Grace, The Oath to which thy Truth did seal, Consign'd to David and his Race, The Grant which Time shou'd ne'er repeal? 50 See how thy Servants treated are With Infamy, Reproach and Spite; Which in my silent Breast I bear From Nations of licentious Might. 51 How they, reproaching thy great Name, Have made thy Servants Hope their Jest: 52 Yet thy just praises we'll proclaim, And ever sing, The Lord be blest. Amen. Amen.

Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 89 First Line: The mercies of Jehovah sing Lyrics: 1 The mercies of Jehovah sing For evermore will I: I'll with my mouth thy truth make known To all posterity. 2 For I have said that mercy shall For ever be up-built: Establish in the very heav'ns, Thy faithfulness thou wilt. 3 With him that is my chosen one A cov'nant made I have And to my servant David I By oath this promise gave. 4 To perpertuity thy seed Establish sure I will; Likewise to generations all Thy throne I'll build up still. Selah. 5 Also the heavens thy wonders, Lord, They shall thy praise confess: Within th' assembly of the same Likewise thy faithfulness. 6 For to the Lord the heav'ns within Who is't we can compare? Who's like the Lord among the sons Of them that mighty are. [2] 7 God greatly in the church of saints Is to be had in fear; And to be reverenc'd of all those That round about him are. 8 Jehovah, O thou God of hosts, Strong JAH, who's like to thee? Thy faithfulness on ev'ry side, Doth round encompass thee. 9 Over the raging of the sea Thou dost dominion bear; When as the waves thereof arise By thee they stilled are. 10 Like to one slain thou broken hast In pieces Rahab quite: Thou hast disperst thine enemies, Ev'n by thine arm of might. 11 To thee the heavens do belong, The earth likewise to thee. The world with fulness of the same: By thee they founded be. 12 The north together with the south. Thou didst create the same: Tabor likewise and Hermon's hill Rejoyce shall in thy name. [3] 13 Thou hast a very mighty arm, Thy hand in strength is great; And also that right hand of thine Aloft on high is set. 14 The habitation of thy throne, Justice and judgment are, Their way before thy face to go Both grace and truth prepare. 15 O blessed are the people who The joyful sound do know; Lord in thy countenances light They up and down shall go. 16 They all the day shall in thy name Rejoyce exceedingly; And in thy righteousness shall they Be lifted up on high. 17 Because that thou art of their strength The glorious dignity: Our horn it shall exalted be In thy benignity. 18 Because Jehovah is to us A safe protection; And he that is our sovereign Is Isr'ls holy One. [4] 19 Then didst thou speak in vision Unto thy saints, and said, On such an one as mighty is I have salvation laid. 20 One chosen from the folk I rais'd, My servant David I Have found, him I anointed with My oyl of sanctity. 21 With whom my hand shall 'stablish'd be Mine arm him strengthen shall 22 Also the enemy shall not Exact on him at all: Nor shall the sons of wickedness Afflict him any more. 23 Before him I'll beat down his foes And plague his haters sore. 24 My mercy yet and verity With him shall be the same: His horn likewise shall be on high Exalted in my name. 25 Moreover I within the sea Will cause his hand to stand; Likewise within the rivers I Will settle his right hand. 26 To me my father, thou my god, And health's rock, he shall cry. 27 And I will make him my first-born, Then earthly kings more high. 28 My mercy I will keep for him To times which eve last: With him also my covenant Shall be establish'd fast. [5] 29 Moreover I his seed will make for to endure always; And I his throne establish will Like as of heav'n the days. 30 If that his sons forsake my law, And from my judgments swerve: 31 If they my statutes break, and do My precepts not observe. 32 Their bold transgressions with the rod Then visit sore will I; Likewise with stripes I visit will Their cross iniquity. 33 My loving kindness yet from him Away take will not I: Nor suffer will in any wise My faithfulness to lye. 34 The cov'nant I have made with him Shall not by me be broke: That which is gone out of my lips I never will revoke. 35 Once sware I by my holiness, If I to David lie. 36 His seed assuredly shall last To perpetuity. And like the sun 'for me his throne 37 It like the moon shall slay: And as in heav'n a witness true Shall stablish'd be for aye. [6] 38 But thou hast cast off and abhorr'd Wroth with thine ointed one 39 Thou art. Thy servants covenant Thou hast made it as none: By casting down unto the ground Thou hast prophan'd his crown. 40 His forts to ruin thou hast brought, His hedges all broke down. 41 All spoil him by the way that pass, His neighbour's scorn he's made. 42 His foes right hand thou hat extoll'd, Thou mad'st his en'mies glad. 43 Thou of his sword the edge hast turn'd Nor mad'st him stand in sight. 44 Thou hast his crown cast to the ground, And fails his glory bright. 45 Yea of his youthful years the days Thou hast diminished; All over with confusion too Thou hast him covered. 46 How long, Jehovah, wilt thou hide thy self for evermore? Like as a burning fire abide Shall thy displeasure sore? 47 To thy remembrance do thou call, How short a time have I: Wherefore hast thou created all Men's sons to vanity? 48 What man alive in strength so great That death he shall not see? That from the hand of grave shall set His soul at liberty. Selah. 49 Thy former loving kindnesses, O Lord, where are they now? Which in thy truth and faithfulness To David thou didst vow? 50 O Lord do thou thy servant's scorn Unto remembrance call; How in my breast I have it born From mighty people all. 51 Wherewith, O Lord, thine enemies Me cast reproach upon, Wherewith they do reproach the steps Of thine anointed one. 52 O let Jehovah blessed be to generations all: Amen, so let it be also Amen, be so it shall.

"Or hast thou made mankind in vain." 3 Where is thy promise to the just? Are not thy servants turn'd to dust? But faith forbids these mournful sighs, And sees the sleeping dust arise. 4 That glorious hour, that dreadful day, Wipes the reproach of saints away, And clears the honour of thy word: Awake our souls and bless the Lord.

Psalm 89: God's mercies I will ever sing

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 89 First Line: God's mercies I will ever sing Lyrics: 1God’s mercies I will ever sing; and with my mouth I shall Thy faithfulness make to be known to generations all. 2For mercy shall be built, said I, for ever to endure; Thy faithfulness, ev’n in the heav’ns, thou wilt establish sure. 3I with my chosen One have made a cov’nant graciously; And to my servant, whom I lov’d, to David sworn have I; 4That I thy seed establish shall for ever to remain, And will to generations all thy throne build and maintain. 5The praises of thy wonders, Lord, the heavens shall express; And in the congregation of saints thy faithfulness. 6For who in heaven with the Lord may once himself compare? Who is like God among the sons of those that mighty are? 7Great fear in meeting of the saints is due unto the Lord; And he of all about him should with rev’rence be ador’d. 8O thou that art the Lord of hosts, what Lord in mightiness Is like to thee? who compass’d round art with thy faithfulness. 9Ev’n in the raging of the sea thou over it dost reign; And when the waves thereof do swell, thou stillest them again. 10Rahab in pieces thou didst break, like one that slaughter’d is; And with thy mighty arm thou hast dispers’d thine enemies. 11The heav’ns are thine, thou for thine own the earth dost also take; The world, and fulness of the same, thy pow’r did found and make. 12The north and south from thee alone their first beginning had; Both Tabor mount and Hermon hill shall in thy name be glad. 13Thou hast an arm that’s full of pow’r, thy hand is great in might; And thy right hand exceedingly exalted is in height. 14Justice and judgment of thy throne are made the dwelling-place; Mercy, accompany’d with truth, shall go before thy face. 15O greatly bless’d the people are the joyful sound that know; In brightness of thy face, O Lord, they ever on shall go. 16They in thy name shall all the day rejoice exceedingly; And in thy righteousness shall they exalted be on high. 17Because the glory of their strength doth only stand in thee; And in thy favour shall our horn and pow’r exalted be. 18For God is our defence; and he to us doth safety bring: The Holy One of Israel is our almighty King. 19In vision to thy Holy One thou saidst, I help upon A strong one laid; out of the folk I rais’d a chosen one; 20Ev’n David, I have found him out a servant unto me; And with my holy oil my King anointed him to be. 21With whom my hand shall stablish’d be; mine arm shall make him strong. 22On him the foe shall not exact, nor son of mischief wrong. 23I will beat down before his face all his malicious foes; I will them greatly plague who do with hatred him oppose. 24My mercy and my faithfulness with him yet still shall be; And in my name his horn and pow’r men shall exalted see. 25His hand and pow’r shall reach afar; I’ll set it in the sea; And his right hand established shall in the rivers be. 26Thou art my Father, he shall cry, thou art my God alone; And he shall say, Thou art the Rock of my salvation. 27I’ll make him my first-born, more high than kings of any land. 28My love I’ll ever keep for him, my cov’nant fast shall stand. 29His seed I by my pow’r will make for ever to endure; And, as the days of heav’n, his throne shall stable be, and sure. 30But if his children shall forsake my laws, and go astray, And in my judgments shall not walk, but wander from my way: 31If they my laws break, and do not keep my commandements; 32I’ll visit then their faults with rods, their sins with chastisements. 33Yet I’ll not take my love from him, nor false my promise make. 34My cov’nant I’ll not break, nor change what with my mouth I spake. 35Once by my holiness I sware, to David I’ll not lie; 36His seed and throne shall, as the sun, before me last for aye. 37It, like the moon, shall ever be establish’d stedfastly; And like to that which in the heav’n doth witness faithfully. 38But thou, displeased, hast cast off, thou didst abhor and loathe; With him that thine anointed is thou hast been very wroth. 39Thou hast thy servant’s covenant made void, and quite cast by; Thou hast profan’d his crown, while it cast on the ground doth lie. 40Thou all his hedges hast broke down, his strong holds down hast torn. 41He to all passers-by a spoil, to neighbours is a scorn. 42Thou hast set up his foes’ right hand; mad’st all his en’mies glad: 43Turn’d his sword’s edge, and him to stand in battle hast not made. 44His glory thou hast made to cease, his throne to ground down cast; 45Shorten’d his days of youth, and him with shame thou cover’d hast. 46How long, Lord, wilt thou hide thyself? for ever, in thine ire? And shall thine indignation burn like unto a fire? 47Remember, Lord, how short a time I shall on earth remain: O wherefore is it so that thou has made all men in vain? 48What man is he that liveth here, and death shall never see? Or from the power of the grave what man his soul shall free? 49Thy former loving-kindnesses, O Lord, where be they now? Those which in truth and faithfulness to David sworn hast thou? 50Mind, Lord, thy servant’s sad reproach; how I in bosom bear The scornings of the people all, who strong and mighty are. 51Wherewith thy raging enemies reproach’d, O Lord, think on; Wherewith they have reproach’d the steps of thine anointed one. 52All blessing to the Lord our God let be ascribed then: For evermore so let it be. Amen, yea, and amen.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 89:19-37 Lyrics: 19 In vision to thy holy one thou saidst, I help upon a strong one laid; out of the folk I raised a chosen one; 20 even David, I have found him out a servant unto me; and with my holy oil my King anointed him to be. 21 With whom my hand shall stablished be; mine arm shall make him strong. 22 From him the foe shall not exact, nor son of mischief wrong. 23 I will beat down before his face all his malicious foes; I will them greatly plague who do with hatred him oppose. 24 My mercy and my faithfulness with him yet still shall be; and in my name his horn and power men shall exalted see. 25 His hand of might shall reach afar; I’ll set it in the sea; and his right hand established shall in the rivers be. 26 Thou art my Father and my God, he unto me shall cry; the rock of my salvation thou on whom I do rely. 27 I’ll make him my first-born, more high than kings of any land. 28 My love I’ll ever keep for him, my covenant fast shall stand. 29 His seed I by my power will make for ever to endure; and, as the days of heaven, his throne shall stable be and sure. 30 But if his children shall forsake my laws, and go astray, and in my judgments shall not walk, but wander from the way: 31 If they my statutes do profane, my laws do not respect; 32 I’ll visit then their faults with rods, their sins with stripes correct. 33 Yet I’ll not take my love from him, nor false my promise make. 34 My covenant I’ll not break, nor change what with my mouth I spake. 35 Once by my holiness I sware, to David I’ll not lie; 36 his seed and throne shall, as the sun, before me last for aye. 37 Like the moon established it shall for ever be: the witness which is in the heaven doth witness faithfully.

Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 89 First Line: To sing the mercies of the Lord Lyrics: 1 To sing the mercies of the Lord, my tongue shall never spare: And with my mouth from age to age, thy truth I will declare. 2 For I have said, that mercy shall for evermore remaine: In that thou dost the heavens stay, they truth appeareth plaine. 3 To mine elect, saith God, I made a covenant and behest: My servant David to persuade, I swore and did protest. 4 Thy seed for ever I will stay, and stablish it full fast: And still uphold thy throne alway, from age to age to last. 5 The heavens shew with joy and mirth, thy wondrous works, O Lord: Thy Saints within thy Church on earth thy faith and truth record. 6 Who with the Lord is equall then, in all the clouds abroad? Among the sonnes of all the gods what one is like our God? 7 God in assembly of his Saints is greatly to be dread: And over all that dwell about, in terrour to be had. 8 Lord God of hoasts, in all the world, what one is like to thee? On every side most mighty Lord, thy truth is seen to be. 9 The raging sea by thine advice, thou rulest at thy will: And when the waves thereof arise, thou mak'st them calm and still. 10 And Egypt (Lord) thou hast subdu'd, and thou hast it destroid: Yea, thou thy foes with mighty arme hast scattered all abroad. The second Part: 11 The heavens are thine & still have been likewise the earth and land: The world and all that is therein. thou foundedst with thy hand: 12 Both North & South, with East & West, thy selfe didst make and frame: Both Tabor mount and eke Hermon, rejoyce and praise thy Name. 13 Thine arm is strong and full of power all might therein doth lie: The strength of thy right hand each houre thou liftest up on hie. 14 In righteousness and equity thou hast thy seat and place: Mercy and truth are still with thee, and go before thy face, 15 That folk is blest that knowes aright thy present power,O God: For in the favour of thy sight they walk full safe abroad. 16 For in thy Name throughout the day they greatly do rejoyce: And through thy righteousness have they a pleasant fame and noise. 17 For why? their glory, strength and aid, in thee alone doth lie: Thy goodnesse eke that hath us staid, shall lift our horn on hie. 18 Our strength that doth defend us well, the Lord to us doth bring: The holy One of Israel he is our guide and King. 19 Sometimes thy will unto thy Saints in vision thou didst show: And thus then didst thou say to them thy mind to make them know. 20 A man of might I have erect, your king and guide to be: And set him up whom I elect among the folk to me. The third Part. 21 My servant David I appoint, whom I have searched out: And with my holy oyle annoint him King of all the rout. 22 For why? my hand is ready still with him for to remaine: And with my arm also I will him strengthen and sustaine. 23 The enemies shall not him oppresse, they shall him not devoure: Nor yet the sonmes of wickedness on him have any power. 24 His foes likewise I will destroy before his face in sight: And those that hate him I will plague, and strike them with my might. 25 My truth and mercy eke withall, shall still upon him lie: And in my name his horne eke shall be lifted up on high. 26 His kingdom I will set to be upon the sea and land: And eke the running floods shall he embrace with his right hand. 27 He shall depend with all his heart on me, and thus shall say: My Father and my God thou art, my rock my health and stay. 28 As my first-borne I will him take, of all on earth that springs: His might and honour I will make above all earthly Kings. 29 My mercy shall be with him still, as I my selfe have told: My faithfull covenant to fulfil, my mercy I will hold. 30 And eke his seed I will sustaine for ever strong and sure: So that his seed shall still remaine: while heaven doth endure. The fourth Part: 31 If that his sonnes forsake my Law, and so begin to swerve: And of my judgements have none awe, nor will not them observe. 32 Or if they do not use aright my statutes to them made: And set all my commandments light, and will not keep my trade. 33 Then with the rod will I begin, their doing to amend: And so will scourge them for their sin, if that they they offend. 34 My mercy yet and my goodnesse, I will not take them fro: Nor handle him with craftinesse, and so my truth forgo. 35 But sure my covenant I will hold, with all that I have spoke: No word the which my lips have told, shall alter or be broke. 36 Once sware I by my holinesse, and that performe will I: With David I shall keep promise, to him I will not lie. 37 His seed for evermore shall raigne, and eke his throne of might, As doth the Sum, it shall remaine for ever in my sight. 38 And as the Moone within the skie for ever standeth fast: A faithful witnesse from on hie. so shall his kingdome last. 39 But now Lord as thou dost reject, and now thou changest cleare: Yea, thou art wrath with thine elect, thin own annointed deare. 40 The covenant with thy servant made, Lord thou hast quite undone: And down upon the ground also and cast his royal crowne. The fifth Part: 41 Thou pluck'st his hedges up with might, his wals thou dost confound: Thou beatest eke his bulwarks down, and brakst them to the ground. ground: 42 That he is sore destroid and torne, of commers by throughout: And so is made a mock and scorn to all that dwell about. 43 Thou their right hand hast lifted up, that him so sore annoy: And all his foes, that him devoure, 1oe thou hast made to joy. 44 His sword's edge thou dost take away that should his foes withstand: To him in warre no victory thou giv'st, nor upper hand. 45 His glory thou dost also wast, his throne, his joy, and mirth, By thee are overthrown and cast full low upon the earth. 46 Thou hast cut off, and made full short his youth and lusty daies And rais'd of him an ill report, with shame and great dispraise. 47 How long away from me, O Lord, for ever wilt thou turn? And shall thine anger still alway as fire consume and burne? 48 O call to mind, remember then, my time consumeth fast: Why hast thou made the sonnes of men as things in vain to wast? 49 What man is he that liveth here, and death shall never see? Or from the hand of Hell his soule shall he deliver free? 50 Where is (O Lord) thine old goodnesse, so oft declar'd beforne, Which by thy truth and uprightnesse to David thou hast sworne? 51 The great rebukes to mind I call, that on thy servants lie: The railings of the people all, borne in my brest have I: 52 Wherewith (O Lord) thine enemies blasphemed have thy Name: The steps of thine anointed ones they cease not to defame. 53 All praise to thee, O Lord of hosts, both now and eke for aye: Through skie and earth, all all the coasts Amen, Amen, I say.

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

Meter: Irregular Appears in 94 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 89 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 free 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 Whene'er I mistake, thy kind mercy begins To melt me and then I can mourn for my sins; And, led by the Spirit to Jesus's blood, My sorrows are dry'd and my strength is renew'd. 4 Thy mercy is more than a match for my heart Which wonders to feel its own hardness depart; Dissolv'd by thy sun-shine, I fall to the ground And weep to the praise of the mercy I found. 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 crucified Son; All praise to the Spirit whose witness divine Seals mercy and pardon, and righteousness MINE.
