Text:The God of mercy be adored

268d. The God of mercy be adored

1 The God of mercy be ador'd,
Who calls our souls from death,
Who saves by his redeeming word,
And new-creating breath.

2 To praise the Father, and the Son,
And Spirit all divine,
The one in three and three in one,
Let saints and angels join.
