When all Thy mercies, O my God

Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Appears in 999 hymnals Topics: Mercies of God Lyrics: 1. When all Thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. 2. Unnumbered comforts on my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed. 3. When in the slippery paths of youth With heedless steps I ran, Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe, And led me up to man. 4. Through hidden dangers, toils, and deaths, It gently cleared my way; And through the pleasing snares of vice, More to be feared than they. 5. Through every period of my life Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds, The pleasing theme renew. 6. Through all eternity, to Thee A grateful song I'll raise; But O, eternity's too short To utter all Thy praise! Used With Tune: AZMON

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Author: Robert Robinson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,203 hymnals Topics: God Mercies of Lyrics: 1 Come, thou fount of ev'ry blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace; streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above; praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it, mount of God's unchanging love. 2 Here I raise my Ebenezer; hither by thy help I'm come; and I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wand'ring from the fold of God: he, to rescue me from danger, interposed his precious blood. 3 O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be; let that grace now, like a fetter, bind my wand'ring heart to thee. Prone to wander – Lord, I feel it – prone to leave the God I love; here's my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above. Scripture: 1 Samuel 7:12 Used With Tune: NETTLETON

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Appears in 900 hymnals Topics: Mercy of God Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy Like the wideness of the sea; There's a kindness in God's justice Which is more than liberty. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the head. 2 For the love of God is broader Than the measures of our mind, And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple We would trust God's saving word, And our lives would be thanksgiving For the goodness of our Lord. 3 Troubled souls, why will you scatter Like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts, why will you wander From a love so true and deep? There is welcome for the sinner And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Savior. There is healing in his blood.
