Depth of mercy! Can there be
Lyrics
- Depth of mercy! Can there be
mercy still reserved for me?
Can my God his wrath forbear,
me, the chief of sinners, spare? - I have long withstood his grace,
long provoked him to his face,
would not hearken to his calls,
grieved him by a thousand falls. - I my Master have denied,
I afresh have crucified,
oft profaned his hallowed name,
put him to an open shame. - There for me the Savior stands,
shows his wounds and spreads his hands.
God is love! I know, I feel;
Jesus weeps and loves me still. - Now incline me to repent,
let me now my sins lament,
now my foul revolt deplore,
weep, believe, and sin no more.
