The Lord Is Merciful

Verse 1

Great God, when I approach thy throne, And all thy glory see; This is my stay, and this alone, That Jesus died for me.

Verse 2

How can a soul condemned to die, Escape the just decree? Helpless, and full of sin am I, But Jesus died for me.

Verse 3

Burdened with sin's oppressive chain, Oh, how can I get free? No peace can all my efforts gain, But Jesus died for me.

Verse 4

And, Lord, when I behold thy face, This must be all my plea; Save me by thy almighty grace, For Jesus died for me.
