“I will sing of mercy and judgement.” Ps. 101. 1
J. Hart S.M.
1
Thy mercy, Lord, we praise;
Of judgment too we sing;
For all the riches of thy grace
Our grateful tribute bring.
2
Mercy may justly claim
A sinner’s thankful voice;
And judgment joining in the theme,
We tremble and rejoice.
3
Thy mercies bid us trust;
Thy judgments strike with awe;
We fear the last, we bless the first,
And love thy righteous law.
4
Who can thy acts express,
Or trace thy wondrous ways?
How glorious is thy holiness;
How terrible thy praise!
5
Thy goodness how immense
To those that fear thy name!
Thy love surpasses thought or sense,
And always is the same.
6
Thy judgments are too deep
For reason’s line to sound.
Thy tender mercies to thy sheep
No bottom know, nor bound.
