Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 811 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 1:3-5 First Line: Depth of mercy! Can there be Lyrics: 1 Depth of mercy! Can there be
mercy still reserved for me?
Can my God his wrath forbear,
me, the chief of sinners spare,
me, the chief of sinners spare?
2 I have long withstood his grace,
long provoked him to his face,
would not hearken to his calls,
grieved him by a thousand falls,
grieved him by a thousand falls.
3 I my Master have denied,
I afresh have crucified,
oft profaned his hallowed name,
put him to an open shame,
put him to an open shame.
4 There for me the Savior stands,
shows his wounds and spreads his hands.
God is love! I know, I feel;
Jesus weeps and loves me still,
Jesus weeps and loves me still.
5 Now incline me to repent,
let me now my sins lament,
now my foul revolt deplore,
weep, believe, and sin no more,
weep, believe, and sin no more.
