Thy Mercy #3422560 by Sandra McCracken, John Stocker, and Isaac Watts 2001 Same Old Dress Music
Verse 1: Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song, The joy of my heart and the boast of my tongue; Thy free grace alone, from the first to the last Has won my affection and bound my soul fast. Verse 2: Without thy sweet mercy I could not live here; Sin soon would reduce me to utter despair; But through thy free goodness my spirits revive, And He that first made me still keeps me alive. Verse 3: Thy mercy is more than a match for my heart, Which wonders to feel its own hardness depart; Dissolved by thy goodness, I fall to the ground, And weep to the praise of the mercy I've found. Verse 4: Great Father of Mercies! Thy goodness I own, And the covenant love of thy crucified Son; All praise to the Spirit whose whisper divine Seals mercy and pardon and righteousness mine! Ending:
All praise to the Spirit whose whisper divine Seals mercy and pardon and righteousness mine!

Intro: Verse 1: Pensive, doubting, fearful heart, Hear what Christ the Savior says; Every word should joy impart, Change thy mourning into praise: Yes, he speaks, and speaks to thee, May he help thee to believe! Then thou presently wilt see, Thou hast little cause to grieve. Verse 2: “Fear thou not, nor be ashamed, All thy sorrows soon shall end I who heav'n and earth have framed, Am thy husband and thy friend I the High and Holy One, Israel's God by all adored; As thy Savior will be known, Thy Redeemer and thy Lord. Verse 3: “Though afflicted, tempest-tossed, Comfortless awhile thou art, Do not think thou canst be lost, Thou art graven on my heart All thy ways I will repair, Thou shalt be rebuilt anew; And in thee it shall appear, What the God of love can do.” Ending: All thy ways I will repair, Thou shalt be rebuilt anew; And in thee it shall appear, What the God of love can do.”
