234 ~ Depth of Mercy!

1

Depth of mercy! — can there be Mercy still reserved for me? Can my God his wrath forbear? Me, the chief of sinners, spare?

I have long withstood his grace, Long provoked him to his face, Would not hearken to his calls, Grieved him by a thousand falls.

Now incline me to repent; Let me now my sins lament; Now my foul revolt deplore, Weep, believe, and sin no more.

There for me the Saviour stands, Shows his wounds and spreads his hands; God is love! I know, I feel; Jesus weeps, and loves me still.
