Have mercy on us, God most High
Now I'm Convinced the Lord Is Kind
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 25 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Now I’m convinced the Lord is kind
To men of heart sincere;
Yet once my foolish thoughts repined,
And bordered on despair.
2. I grieved to see the wicked thrive,
And spoke with angry breath,
“How pleasant and profane they live!
How peaceful is their death!
3. “With well-fed flesh and haughty eyes,
They lay their fears to sleep;
Against the heav’ns their slanders rise,
While saints in silence weep.
4. In vain I lift my hands to pray,
And cleanse my heart in vain;
For I am chastened all the day,
The night renews my pain.
5. Yet while my tongue indulged complaints,
I felt my heart reprove—
Sure I shall thus offend thy saints,
And grieve the men I love.
6. But still I found my doubts too hard,
The conflict too severe,
Till I retired to search Thy Word,
And learn Thy secrets there.
7. There, as in some prophetic glass,
I saw the sinner’s feet
High mounted on a slippery place,
Beside a fiery pit.
8. I heard the wretch profanely boast,
Till at Thy frown he fell;
His honors in a dream were lost,
And he awakes in hell.
9. Lord, what an envious fool I was!
How like a thoughtless beast!
Thus to suspect Thy promised grace,
And think the wicked blessed.
10. Thus I was kept from full despair,
Upheld by power unknown;
That blessèd hand that broke the snare
Shall guide me to Thy throne. Used With Tune: GERONTIUS Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
Now I'm Convinced the Lord Is Kind
Eternal God, Our Wondering Souls
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, our wondering souls
Admire Thy matchless grace;
That Thou wilt walk, that Thou wilt dwell,
With Adam’s worthless race.
2 O lead me to that happy path,
Where I my God may meet;
Tho’ hosts of foes begird it round,
Tho’ briars wound my feet.
3 Cheered with Thy converse I can trace
The desert with delight:
Thro’ all the gloom one smile of Thine
Can dissipate the night.
4 Nor shall I thro’ eternal days
A restless pilgrim roam:
Thy hand, that now directs my course,
Shall soon convey me home.
5 I ask not Enoch’s rapturous flight
To realms of heav’nly day:
Nor seek Elijah’s fiery steeds,
To bear this flesh away.
6 Joyful my spirit will consent
To drop its mortal load,
And hail the sharpest pangs of death,
That break its way to God. Used With Tune: GERONTIUS Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Founded on Various Texts in the Holy Scriptures, by Job Orton (J. Eddowes and J. Cotton, 1755)

Commissioned By The Great I Am
Author: William Sanders; Hugh Bourne Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Commissioned by the great I AM
I leave my friends and home,
To spread the triumphs of His name,
O’er desert wastes I roam.
2 While the whole counsel of the Lord,
I shun not to declare,
May sinners fall before the Word,
And lift their hearts in prayer.
3 My soul, at times, is much cast down,
And pressed with pain and toil,
But I’ll not dread the sinner’s frown,
Nor will I court their smile.
4 Though grief and sorrow be my lot,
I shortly shall be free;
And whether I’m reproached or not,
May God remember me.
5 I soon shall quit this cumbrous clay,
And fly to Jesus’ breast;
Angels will bear my soul away,
To everlasting rest. Used With Tune: GERONTIUS Text Sources: Large Hymn Book for the Use of the Primitive Methodists, Bemerseley, England: Primitive Methodist Connexion, 1824)

For all His mercy’s store?
I’ll take the gifts He hath bestowed,
And humbly ask for more.
2. The sacred cup of saving grace
I will with thanks receive,
And all His promises embrace,
And to His glory live.
3. My vows I will to His great name
Before His people pay,
And all I have, and all I am,
Upon His altar lay.
4. Thy lawful servant, Lord, I owe
To Thee whate’er is mine,
Born in Thy family below,
And by redemption thine.
5. Thy hands created me, Thy hands
From sin have set me free,
The mercy that hath loosed my bands
Hath bound me fast to Thee.
6. The God of all redeeming grace
My God I will proclaim,
Offer the sacrifice of praise,
And call upon His name.
7. Praise Him, ye saints, the God of love,
Who hath my sins forgiven,
Till, gathered to the church above,
We sing the songs of Heaven. Used With Tune: GERONTIUS Text Sources: Cento from manuscript
