The mercies of my God and King

Henry Francis Lyte • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 89

Verse 1

The mercies of my God and King My tongue shall still pursue: Oh, happy they, who, while they sing Those mercies, share them too! As bright and lasting as the sun, As lofty as the sky, From age to age thy truth shall run, And chance and change defy.

Verse 2

The covenant of the King of kings Shall stand for ever sure; Beneath the shadow of thy wings Thy saints repose secure. In earth below, in heaven above, Who, who is Lord like thee? Oh, spread the gospel of thy love, Till all thy glories see!
