Countless Mercies

Author: Flora Kirkland Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: Lamentations 3:32 First Line: Are you heavy-laden and with sorrow tried? Refrain First Line: Countless mercies! such a boundless store Lyrics: 1 Are you heavy-laden and with sorrow tried? Stop and look to Jesus, Helper, Friend and Guide; Think of all his mercies; such a boundless store! Tears will change to praises as you count them o’er. Refrain: Countless mercies! such a boundless store! Countless mercies! pressed and running o’er! Countless mercies! try to count them o’er Till you gaze in wonder at your boundless store. 2 Think of hidden dangers he hath brought you thro’; Think of all the burdens he hath borne for you; Count his words of comfort in your deepest need; Count the times when Jesus proved a Friend indeed. [Refrain] 3 Does your pathway darken ‘neath a cloud of fear? Count your many mercies; dry each bitter tear. Even ‘mid the shadows trust him without fear; “Home will be the sweeter for the dark down here.” [Refrain] 4 As he looks from heaven now on you and me, Don’t you know he chooseth what each day shall be? Trust his loving wisdom, though the hot tears start, Give to him the incense of a grateful heart. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Are you heavy-laden and with sorrow tried?]

Author: Augustus Montague Toplady (1740-1778) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,916 hymnals Scripture: Lamentations 3:49 Lyrics: 1 Rock of ages cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee; let the water and the blood, from thy riven side which flowed, be of sin the double cure, cleanse me from its guilt and power. 2 Not the labours of my hands can fulfill thy law's demands; could my zeal no respite know, could my tears for ever flow, all for sin could not atone; thou must save, and thou alone. 3 Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to thy cross I cling; naked, come to thee for dress; helpless, look to thee for grace; stained by sin, to thee I fly; wash me, Saviour, or I die. 4 While I draw this fleeting breath, when my eyelids close in death, when I soar through realms unknown, see thee on thy judgement throne, Rock of ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee.

His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, and dark is his path on the wings of the storm. 3 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, in thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail; thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end, Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer and Friend.

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick W. Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 902 hymnals Scripture: Lamentations 3:22 Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy like the wideness of the sea; there’s a kindness in his justice which is more than liberty. 2 There is welcome for the sinner and more graces for the good; there is mercy with the Savior; there is healing in his blood. 3 For the love of God is broader than the measure of our mind; and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. 4 If our love were but more simple, we would take him at his word, and our lives would be illumined by the presence of our Lord.
