Tune: | ST. ANDREW |
Composer: | Joseph Barnby |
1 Sweet is Thy mercy, Lord;
Before Thy mercy seat
My soul, adoring, pleads Thy word,
And owns Thy mercy sweet.
2 Where'er Thy Name is blest,
Where'er Thy people meet,
There I delight in Thee to rest,
And find Thy mercy sweet.
3 Light Thou my weary way,
Lead Thou my wandering feet,
That while I stay on earth I may
Still find Thy mercy sweet.
4 Thus shall the heavenly host
Hear all my songs repeat
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
My joy, Thy mercy sweet.
Amen.
