Sweet is Thy mercy, Lord

Sweet is Thy mercy, Lord;

Before Thy mercy seat

My soul, adoring, pleads Thy word,

And owns Thy mercy sweet.

My need, and Thy desires,

Are all in Christ complete;

Thou hast the justice truth requires,

And I Thy mercy sweet.

Where'er Thy name is blest,

Where'er Thy people meet,

There I delight in Thee to rest,

And find Thy mercy sweet.

Light Thou my weary way,

Place Thou my weary feet,

That while I stray on earth I may

Still find Thy mercy sweet.

Thus shall the heavenly host

Hear all my songs repeat

The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

My joy, Thy mercy sweet.
