HYMN 11. Abounding Mercy of God in Christ.
1
Is there no Mercy in the Lord?
sinners! can you say so?
Of Mercy sing with one accord,
Mercy doth overflow!
2
The Waters which are in the Sea,
and Light that's in the Sun,
Are fewer than thy Mercies are,
to sinners quite undone.
3
Thy Bowels yearn in thee to those
who in their Blood do ly;
If they Believe thou wilt forgive
all their Iniquity:
4
But some will not thy Mercy have,
they it do not desire;
In the right Way, do it not crave;
nor after it enquire!
5
But you that see the Chanel, where
Mercy doth sweetly run,
Exalt God's Name, and sing his Praise,
until your Lives are done.
6
At Death and in the Judgment-day,
God's mercy you shall find,
If you do leave your evil Ways
and have a changed Mind.
7
Redeeming Mercy that is sweet,
and Pardoning Mercy sure;
In Christ all Mercies joyn and meet,
and evermore endure.
