Let Youth Praise Him ‎#4

4. The Mercies of God

1 The mercies of God! what a theme for my song,
Oh! I never could number them o'er;
They're more than the stars in the heavenly dome,
Or the sands of the wave-beaten shore.

Chorus:
For mercies so great, what return can I make?
For mercies so constant and sure?
I'll love Him, I'll serve Him will all that I have
As long as my life shall endure.

2 They greet me at morn when I waken from sleep,
And they gladden my heart at the noon;
They follow me on into shades of the night,
When the day with its labor is done. [Chorus]

3 His angels of mercy encompass me 'round,
Wheresoever my pathway may lead;
Each turn of the road some new token reveals.
Oh! for me life is blessed indeed. [Chorus]

4 His goodness and mercy will follow me still,
Even onto the end of the way;
I have His sure promise and that cannot fail,
That His mercy endureth for aye. [Chorus]
