For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Psalms 51:1.

The mercy of God is an ocean divine,

A boundless and fathomless flood:

Launch out in the deep, cut away the shore lines,

And be lost in the fulness of God.

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness; according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Psalms 51:1.
