Father, to us Thy mercy Thou hast shown,

Father, to us Thy mercy Thou hast shown, In Thine own way; Sinners like us as dear sons Thou wouldst own, In love for aye. Vessels of mercy, Thou didst us prepare; Vessels of honor, we Thyself declare.

" In mercy I delight, not sacrifice," Thou hast declared; Thru this Thy mercy, favor in Thine eyes We all have shared. ' Tis not of them that will nor them that run, But of Thee showing mercy as was done.

Father, Thy mercy with Thy love and grace Did we obtain; And in Thy mercy, with Thee face to face, We'll e'er remain; And for Thy mercy we would worship Thee Through all our days and through eternity.
