HYMN 51. Boundless Mercy.

[_]

25th Psalm Tune.

1

Of Mercy still, O Lord,
We will together Sing;
And in sweet sacred Songs of Praise
Exalt our glorious King:

2

Let Heart and Tongue rejoyce,
And say, Who's like to Thee?
Among the gods there's none that Thus
Forgives Iniquity.

3

We did not Pardon crave,
When in our Blood we lay;
But t'was free Grace that moved Thee
Our cursed Debts to pay.

57

4

This Pardon is this Day
To sinners Offered;
Oh! is there none that will come in,
Whilst out thy Hands are spread!

5

You Happy are, O Souls,
Who now forgiven be;
And also over a short time
You will it clearly see:

6

Then Sing, tho' in the Dust
You ly a little while;
A Day is near that will make all
God's pardon'd Ones to smile.
