Righteous is the Lord in judgment Unto all that are oppressed; To His people He has ever Made His goodness manifest. 3 Yea, the Lord is full of mercy And compassion for distress, Slow to anger and abundant In His grace and tenderness. He will not be angry alway, Nor will He forever chide; Tho' we oft have sinned against Him Still His love and grace abide. 4 As the heav'ns are high above us, Great his love to us has proved; Far as east from west is distant, He has all our sins removed. As a father loves his children, Feeling pity for their woes, So the Lord to those who fear Him Mercy and compassion shows. Scripture: Psalm 103 Used With Tune: AUTUMN
