1. Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song, | |||
The joy of my heart and the boast of my tongue; | |||
Thy free grace alone, from the first to the last, | |||
Hath won my affections and bound my soul fast. | |||
2. Without thy free mercy I could not live here | |||
Sin soon would reduce me to utter despair; | |||
But, through thy free goodness, my spirits revive, | |||
And he that first made me, still keeps me alive. | |||
3. Thy mercy surpasses the sin of my heart | |||
Which wonders to feel its own hardness depart, | |||
Dissolved by thy goodness, I fall to the ground | |||
And weep to the praise of the mercy I found.}} | |||

{{Text|Simple| | |||
4. The door of thy mercy stands open all day | |||
to the needy and poor, who knock by the way; | |||
No sinner shall ever be empty sent back, | |||
Who comes seeking mercy for Jesus' dear sake. | |||
5. Thy mercy in Jesus exempts me from hell; | |||
Its glories I'll sing, and its wonders I'll tell: | |||
'Twas Jesus the friend when he hung on the tree | |||
That opened the channel of mercy for me. | |||
6. Great Father of mercies, thy goodness I own, | |||
And covenant love of thy crucified son: | |||
All praise to the spirit, whose action divine | |||
Seals mercy and pardon and righteousness mine.}} | |||
