1 | Father, to us Thy mercy Thou hast shown, |
| | | In Thine own way; |
| Sinners like us as dear sons Thou wouldst own, |
| | | In love for aye. |
| Vessels of mercy, Thou didst us prepare; |
| Vessels of honor, we Thyself declare. |
2 | In mercy I delight, not sacrifice, |
| | | Thou hast declared; |
| Thru this Thy mercy, favor in Thine eyes |
| | | We all have shared. |
| Tis not of them that will nor them that run, |
| But of Thee showing mercy as was done. |
3 | Father, Thy mercy with Thy love and grace |
| | | Did we obtain; |
| And in Thy mercy, with Thee face to face, |
| | | Well eer remain; |
| And for Thy mercy we would worship Thee |
| Through all our days and through eternity. |
