|  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. |
