O what stupendous mercy shines

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #344 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O what stupendous mercy shines Around the majesty of heav'n! Rebels he deigns to call his sons, Their souls renew'd, their sins forgiv'n. 2 Go, imitate the grace divine,-- The grace that blazes like a sun; Hold forth your fair, though feeble light, Through all your lives let mercy run. 3 Upon your bounty's willing wings Swift let the great salvation fly; The hungry feed, the naked clothe, To pain and sickness help apply. 4 Pity the weeping widow's woe, And be her counsellor and stay; Adopt the fatherless, and smooth To useful, happy life, his way. 5 Let age with want and weakness bow'd, Your mercy and compassion move; Let e'en your enemies be bless'd, Their hatred recompens'd with love.
