[Thy mercy, Lord, is better]
Thy mercy, Lord, is better
Than life and all below;
Visit Thy fallen creature;
That I Thy love may know,
The Father's habitation,
Thy Spirit's constant home,
O come with Thy salvation,
With all the Godhead come.
Than life and all below;
Visit Thy fallen creature;
That I Thy love may know,
The Father's habitation,
Thy Spirit's constant home,
O come with Thy salvation,
With all the Godhead come.
Salvation I desire
Because it comes with Thee,
Who dost Thine own inspire
With perfect purity.
Now, Lord, Thy temple enter,
Not as a transient guest;
But in my spirit's centre,
Eternal Saviour, rest.
Because it comes with Thee,
Who dost Thine own inspire
With perfect purity.
Now, Lord, Thy temple enter,
Not as a transient guest;
But in my spirit's centre,
Eternal Saviour, rest.
