Jehovah Very Gracious Is

lyricist: Presbyterian Book of Praise, 1897
Composer: William Gardiner, 1815

Jehovah ve­ry gra­cious is

And He doth great com­pas­sion show;

Abundant mer­cy too is His

And un­to ang­er He is slow.

Good un­to all men is the Lord:

O’er all His works His mer­cy is.

Thy works all praise to Thee af­ford:

Thy saints

O Lord

Thy name shall bless.

The glo­ry of Thy king­dom show

Shall they

and of Thy pow­er tell;

That so men’s sons Thy deeds may know

Thy king­dom’s grace that doth excel.

Thy king­dom hath no end at all

It doth through ag­es all re­main.

The Lord up­hold­eth all that fall

The cast-down rais­eth up again.

The eyes of all up­on Thee wait;

In sea­son Thou their food dost give;

Thine op­ened hand

with boun­ty great

Supplies the wants of all that live.
