Rejoicing in Forgiving Love

Verse 1

My soul, with hum­ble fer­vor raise To God the voice of grate­ful praise; And ev­ery men­tal pow­er com­bine, To bless His at­trib­utes di­vine.

Verse 2

Deep on my heart let me­mo­ry trace His acts of mer­cy and of grace; Who, with a fa­ther’s ten­der care, Saved me when sink­ing in des­pair:

Verse 3

Gave my re­pent­ant soul to prove The joy of His for­giv­ing love; Poured balm in­to my bleed­ing breast, And led my wea­ry feet to rest.
