Is an ocean di­vine,
Still you drift on with mirth and with song,
The na­tions of earth
And all who served Him, with Him reign, now free from sin and stain.
Sweep ov­er my spir­it for­ev­er, I pray
O cross of shame and ang­uish,
In Thy dear bo­som, O my God!
And is not mer­cy Thy pre­ro­ga­tive—
Whose robe is fringed with mer­cy’s gold­en bells,
By the dire and deep dis­tress
Of end­less praise shall rise;
What dost thou think and speak,

fa­thom­less

Launch out in the deep,
end
Oh, hark to the groan­ing:
That caught in bond­age, fraught with strife, You bring eter­nal life!
What a trea­sure I have
O fount of grace and glo­ry,
Where hid­den mys­ter­ies lie;
Me, Lord, the chief of sin­ners, me for­give,
O hear us, for Thou al­ways hear­est Him;
Lord! our tears in mer­cy see
Of per­fect love and truth,
What’s mea­sure­less, art bound­ing?
