Mercy's Never-failing Stream

Of Mercy's never-failing stream,

And steadfast Judgment I will sing;

And since they both to You belong,

To You, Lord, I address my Song.

My Lord, you will with me abide

Your disciplines by grace shall guide;

A blameless life to me you give,

A pattern by which I will live.

For Mercy's never-failing stream

Flows on forever to redeem

It springs eternal from Gods throne

Each morning mercies new are shown

You bring us trials our souls to sift

You grant repentance as a gift

From haughty looks I'll turn aside,

And mortify the heart of pride.

May your longsuffering patience prove

To be the kindness that shall move

Our stony hearts to be made flesh

By Mercy's stream we are refreshed

And Mercy's ever flowing stream

Flows on forever to redeem

It springs eternal from Gods throne

Each morning mercies new are shown

Adapted some lyrics with new music from The Whole Book of Psalms, in Metre. With Hymns, Etc. 1795
