Representative Text

1 Thy lovingkindness, Lord, is good and free,
in tender mercy turn Thou unto me;
hide not Thy face from me in my distress,
in mercy hear my prayer, Thy servant bless.

2 Needy and sorrowful, to Thee I cry;
let Thy salvation set my soul on high;
then I will sing and praise Thy holy name,
my thankful song Thy mercy shall proclaim.

3 With joy the meek shall see my soul restored;
your heart shall live, ye saints that seek the Lord;
He helps the needy and regards their cries,
those in distress the LORD will not despise.

4 Let heav'n above His grace and glory tell,
let earth and sea and all that in them dwell;
salvation to His people God will give,
and they that love His name with Him shall live.
