The Greatness of His Mercy

When in Je­sus we be­lieve

And His par­don we re­ceive

What a com­fort to the soul

The pro­mise brings;

That the wea­ry and op­pressed

When they come to Him for rest

He will cov­er with the sha­dow

Of His wings.

O sing the great­ness of His mer­cy

Unto those that seek Him ev­er full and free;

O sing

while an­gels join the chor­us

Rolling on­ward like the sea.

When in Je­sus we abide

And by faith are jus­ti­fied

We have peace with God the Fa­ther

Through His name;

And the joy that fills the heart

Though its earth­ly hopes de­part

Through His all aton­ing mer­it

We may claim.

When in Je­sus we are one

We can say

His will be done

We can trust Him where per­haps

We can­not trace;

For He keeps us by His pow­er

Every mo­ment

ev­ery hour

And we feel the sweet re­fresh­ing

Of His grace.

Oh

the whis­pers of His love

How they cheer us from above

While they tell of yon­der man­sions

Bright and fair;

Where

be­yond the swell­ing tide

We shall an­chor at His side

And be ga­thered with the saints

In glo­ry there.
