The Greatness of His Mercy (EN 1901)

1

When in Jesus we believe, and His pardon we receive,

What a comfort to the soul the promise brings;

That the weary and oppressed, when they come to Him for rest,

He will cover with the shadow of His wings.

O sing the greatness of His mercy,

Unto those that seek Him ever full and free;

O sing, while angels join the chorus,

Rolling onward like the sea.

2

When in Jesus we abide, and by faith are justified,

We have peace with God the Father through His Name;

And the joy that fills the heart, though its earthly hopes depart,

Through His all atoning merit we may claim.

3

When in Jesus we are one we can say, His will be done,

We can trust Him where perhaps we cannot trace;

For he keeps us by His power, every moment, every hour,

And we feel the sweet refreshing of His grace.

4

Oh, the whispers of His love, how they cheer us from above,

While they tell of yonder mansions bright and fair;

Where, beyond the swelling tide, we shall anchor at His side,

And be gathered with the saints in glory there.
