The Pardoning God

Samuel Davies • English

Primary Scripture: Nehemiah 9:17

Verse 1

Great God of wonders, all thy ways are matchless, God-like and divine; but the fair glories of thy grace more God-like and unrivaled shine:

Chorus

Who is a pardoning God like thee, or who has grace so rich and free?

Verse 2

Such dire offences to forgive, such guilty rebel souls to spare; this is thy grand prerogative, and none shall in the honour share:

Chorus

Who is a pardoning God like thee, or who has grace so rich and free?

Verse 3

In wonder lost, with trembling joy, we take the pardon of our God, pardon for sins of deepest dye, a pardon sealed with Jesus' blood:

Chorus

Who is a pardoning God like thee, or who has grace so rich and free?

Verse 4

O may this glorious matchless love, this God-like miracle of grace, teach mortal tongues, like those above, to raise this song of lofty praise:

Chorus

Who is a pardoning God like thee, or who has grace so rich and free?
