IS there no Mercy in the Lord?
sinners! can you say so?
Of Mercy sing with one accord,
Mercy doth overflow!

2 The Waters which are in the Sea,
and Light that's in the Sun,
Are sewer than thy Mercies are▪
to sinners quite undone.

3 Thy Bowels yearn in thee to those
who in their Blood do ly;
If they Believe thou wilt forgive
all their Iniquity:

4 But some will not thy Mercy have,
they it do not desire;

In the right Way, do it not crave; nor after it enquire!

5 But you that see the Chanel, where
 Mercy doth sweetly run,
Exalt God's Name, and sing his Praise▪
 until▪ your Lives are done.

6 At Death and in the Judgment-day,
 God's mercy you shall find,
If you do leave your evil Ways
 and have a changed Mind.

7 Redeeming Mercy that is sweet,
 and▪ Pardoning Mercy sure;
In Christ all Mercies joyn and meet,
 and evermore endure.
