Sweet Is Thy Mercy, Lord

Sweet is Thy mer­cy

Lord;

Before Thy mer­cy seat

My soul

ador­ing

pleads Thy Word

And owns Thy mer­cy sweet.

My need and Thy de­sires

Are all in Christ com­plete;

Thou hast the jus­tice truth re­quires

And I Thy mer­cy sweet.

Where’er Thy name is blest

Where’er Thy peo­ple meet

There I de­light in Thee to rest

And find Thy mer­cy sweet.

Light Thou my wea­ry way

Lead Thou my wan­der­ing feet

That while I stay on earth I may

Still find Thy mer­cy sweet.

Thus shall the heav­en­ly host

Hear all my songs re­peat

To Fa­ther

Son

and Ho­ly Ghost

My joy

Thy mer­cy sweet.
