Author: | George B. Cheever |
Tune: | LOVING-KINDNESS |
Composer: | William Caldwell |
Media: | MIDI file |
1 Thy loving-kindness, Lord, I sing,
Of grace and life the sacred spring—
In blood o’erflowing, rich and free,
In loving-kindness shed for me.
Refrain:
Loving-kindness, loving-kindness,
His loving-kindness, oh, how free!
2 I to Thy mercy seat repair,
And find Thy loving-kindness there;
And when to Thy sweet Word I go,
Thy loving-kindness there I know. [Refrain]
3 Each evening from the world apart,
Thy loving-kindness cheers my heart;
And when the day salutes my eyes,
Thy loving-kindness doth arise. [Refrain]
4 Lord, from the moment of my birth,
I’ve nothing known but love on earth;
By day, by night, where’er I be,
Thy loving-kindness follows me. [Refrain]
5 From daily sin and daily woe,
Thy loving-kindness saves me now;
And I will praise, for sins forgiven,
Thy loving-kindness, all, in Heaven. [Refrain]
