7s & 6s. The same subject. 1 GOOD thou art, and good thou dost, Thy mercies reach to all, Chiefly those who on thee trust, And for thy mercy call; New they every morning are; As fathers when their children cry, Us thou dost in pity spare, And all our wants supply.
2 Mercy o'er thy works presides; Thy providence displayed Still preserves, and still provide For all thy hands have made; Keeps with most distinguished care The man who on thy love depends; Watches every numbered hair, And all his steps attends.
3 Who can sound the depths unknown Of thy redeeming grace? Grace that gave thine only Son To save a ruined race! Millions of transgressors poor Thou hast for Jesu's sake forgiven, Made them of thy favour sure, And snatched from hell to heaven.
4 Millions more thou ready art To save, and to forgive; Every soul and every heart Of man thou wouldst receive: Father, now accept of mine, Which now, through Christ, I offer thee; Tell me now, in love divine, That thou hast pardoned me!
