Father, to us Thy mercy Thou hast shown

Father

to us Thy mercy Thou hast shown

In Thine own way;

Sinners like us as dear sons Thou wouldst own

In love for aye.

Vessels of mercy

Thou didst us prepare;

Vessels of honor

we Thyself declare.

“In mercy I delight

not sacrifice

”

Thou hast declared;

Thru this Thy mercy

favor in Thine eyes

We all have shared.

’Tis not of them that will nor them that run

But of Thee showing mercy as was done.

Father

Thy mercy with Thy love and grace

Did we obtain;

And in Thy mercy

with Thee face to face

We’ll e’er remain;

And for Thy mercy we would worship Thee

Through all our days and through eternity.
