How Gracious Are Thy Mercies, Lord

Representative Text

1 How gracious are Thy mercies, Lord,
They hallow all my days;
Thy gifts of tenderness and love
Inspire my heart to praise.
The growing miracle of faith
Assures me I am Thine.
Oh, praise thy name that I can share
This fellowship divine!

2 How lovely are Thy mercies, Lord,
The earth, the sky and sea,
For all things good and beautiful
I offer praise to Thee.
For clouds by day and stars by night,
For blossoms frail and fair,
For all thy glorious handiwork
My heart is moved to prayer.

3 How tender are Thy mercies, Lord,
Thy grace when days are long,
And in the lonely midnight hour
Thy precious gift of song.
When I approach the gates of death
And life is at an end,
Thy presence will sustain me still,
My Saviour and my Friend.
Amen.
