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.
