110- God's Free Mercy Streameth
God the Father: Grace and Mercy of God
1
- God's free mercy streameth
- Over all the world,
- And His banner gleameth,
- By His church unfurled;
- Broad and deep and glorious,
- As the heaven above,
- Shines in might victorious
- His eternal love.
2
- Summer suns are glowing
- Over land and sea;
- Happy light is flowing,
- Bountiful and free;
- Everything rejoices
- In the mellow rays;
- Earth's ten thousand voices
- Swell the psalm of praise.
3
- Lord, upon our blindness
- Thy pure radiance pour;
- For Thy loving-kindness
- We would love Thee more;
- And when clouds are drifting
- Dark across the sky,
- Then, the veil uplifting,
- Father, be Thou nigh.
4
- We will never doubt Thee,
- Tho' Thou veil Thy light;
- Life is dark without Thee,
- Death with Thee is bright.
- Light of light, shine o'er us
- On our pilgrim way,
- Go Thou still before us
- To the endless day.
