Tune: | SUPPLICATION |
Composer: | Sir Joseph Barnby, 1838-1896 |
1. Sweet is Thy mercy, Lord;
Before Thy mercy seat
My soul, adoring, pleads Thy word,
And owns Thy mercy sweet.
2. My need, and Thy desires,
Are all in Christ complete;
Thou hast the justice truth requires,
And I Thy mercy sweet.
3. Where'er Thy name is blest,
Where'er Thy people meet,
There I delight in Thee to rest,
And find Thy mercy sweet.
4. Light Thou my weary way,
Place Thou my weary feet,
That while I stray on earth I may
Still find Thy mercy sweet.
5. Thus shall the heavenly host
Hear all my songs repeat
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
My joy, Thy mercy sweet.
