Sweet is Thy mercy, Lord!
Before the mercy seat
My soul, adoring, pleads Thy word,
And owns Thy mercy sweet!

My need, and God’s desires,
Are all in Christ complete:
He has the justice truth requires,
And I Thy mercy, sweet!

Light Thou my weary way,
Lead Thou my weary feet,
That while I stay on earth I may
Still find Thy mercy sweet!
