833. "I will sing of mercy and judgment"

1 Thy mercy, Lord, we praise;
Of judgment too we sing;
For all the riches of thy grace
Our grateful tribute bring.

2 Mercy may justly claim
A sinner’s thankful voice;
And judgment joining in the theme,
We tremble and rejoice.

3 Thy mercies bid us trust;
Thy judgments strike with awe;
We fear the last, we bless the first,
And love thy righteous law.

4 Who can thy acts express,
Or trace thy wondrous ways?
How glorious is thy holiness;
How terrible thy praise!

5 Thy goodness how immense
To those that fear thy name!
Thy love surpasses thought or sense,
And always is the same.

6 Thy judgments are too deep
For reason’s line to sound.
Thy tender mercies to thy sheep
No bottom know, nor bound.
