Your Mercy, Oh Eternal One

1 Your mercy, Oh Eternal one
by no heart measured yet;
in joy, or grief, or shade, or sun
I never will forget.

2 I give the whole and not the part
of all you gave to me;
my goods, my life, my soul, my heart
I yield them all as free.

3 And when in silent awe we wait,
and word and sign forebear,
the hinges of the golden gate
move soundless at our prayer.
