John Wesley (1703-1791)

6 Verses Grace & Mercy

Verse 1

GREAT God! to me the sight afford To him of old allowed; And let my faith behold its Lord Descending in a cloud.

Verse 2

In that revealing Spirit come down, Thine attributes proclaim, And to my inmost soul make known The glories of thy name.

Verse 3

Jehovah, Christ, I thee adore, Who gav'st my soul to be! Fountain of being, and of power, And great in majesty.

Verse 4

The Lord, the mighty God, thou art; But let me rather prove That name in-spoken to my heart, That favourite name of Love.

Verse 5

Merciful God, thyself proclaim In this polluted breast; Mercy is thy distinguished name, Which suits a sinner best.

Verse 6

Our misery doth for pity call, Our sin implores thy grace; An and thou art merciful to all Our lost, apostate race.
