- 1Sweet is Thy mercy, Lord;
- Before Thy mercy seat
- My soul, adoring, pleads Thy word,
- And owns Thy mercy sweet.
- 2My need, and Thy desires,
- Are all in Christ complete;
- Thou hast the justice truth requires,
- And I Thy mercy sweet.
- 3Where'er Thy name is blest,
- Where'er Thy people meet,
- There I delight in Thee to rest,
- And find Thy mercy sweet.
- 4Light Thou my weary way,
- Place Thou my weary feet,
- That while I stray on earth I may
- Still find Thy mercy sweet.
- 5Thus shall the heavenly host
- Hear all my songs repeat
- The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
- My joy, Thy mercy sweet.
