| 1 | Thy ceaseless, unexhausted love,
Unmerited and free,
Delights our evil to remove,
And help our misery. |
| 2 | Thou waitest to be gracious still;
Thou dost with sinners bear,
That, saved, we may Thy goodness feel,
And all Thy grace declare. |
| 3 | Thy goodness and Thy truth to me
To every soul, abound,
A vast, unfathomable sea,
Where all our thoughts are drowned. |
| 4 | Its streams the whole creation reach,
So plenteous is the store,
Enough for all, enough for each,
Enough forevermore. |
| 5 | Faithful, O Lord, Thy mercies are!
A rock that cannot move;
A thousand promises declare
Thy constancy of love. |
| 6 | Throughout the universe it reigns,
Unalterably sure;
And while the truth of God remains,
The goodness must endure. |
|
