Thy Mercy and Thy Truth, O Lord

lyricist: The Psalter, 1912
Composer: William Bradbury, 1867

Thy mercy and Thy truth

O Lord

Transcend the lof­ty sky;

Thy judg­ments are a migh­ty deep

And as the mount­ains high.

Lord

Thou pre­serv­est man and beast;

Since Thou art ev­er kind;

Beneath the sha­dow of Thy wings

We may a re­fuge find.

With the abun­dance of Thy house

We shall be sa­tis­fied

From riv­ers of un­fail­ing joy

Our thirst shall be sup­plied.

The fount­ain of eter­nal life

Is found alone with Thee

And in the bright­ness of Thy light

We clear­ly light shall see.

From those that know Thee may Thy love

And mer­cy ne’er de­part

And may Thy jus­tice still pro­tect

And bless the up­right heart.

The work­ers of ini­qui­ty

Are fall­en ut­ter­ly;

They shall not tri­umph in their pride

Or drive my soul from Thee.
