Psalms 103:8

• [Psa 103:8] Lord, How Wondrous Are His Ways, The

  The Lord, how wondrous are His ways! How firm His truth! how large His grace! He takes His mercy for His throne, And thence He makes His glories known. Not half so high His power hath spread The starry heav’ns above our head, As His rich love exceeds our praise, Exceeds the highest hopes we raise. Not half so far hath nature placed The rising morning from the west, As His forgiving grace removes The daily guilt of those He loves. How slowly doth His wrath arise! On swifter wings salvation flies; And if He lets His anger burn, How soon His frowns to pity turn. Amidst His wrath compassion shines; His strokes are lighter than our sins; And while His rod corrects His saints, His ear indulges their complaints. So fathers their young sons chastise With gentle hand and melting eyes; The children weep beneath the smart, And move the pity of their heart. The mighty God, the wise and just, Knows that our frame is feeble dust; And will no heavy loads impose Beyond the strength that He bestows. He knows how soon our nature dies, Blasted by every wind that flies; Like grass we spring, and die as soon, Or morning flowers that fade at noon. But His eternal love is sure To all the saints, and shall endure; From age to age His truth shall reign, Nor children’s children hope in vain.

Psalms 145:8

• [Psa 145:8] The Greatness Of His Mercy

  When in Jesus we believe, and His pardon we receive, What a comfort to the soul the promise brings; That the weary and oppressed, when they come to Him for rest, He will cover with the shadow of His wings. Refrain O sing the greatness of His mercy, Unto those that seek Him ever full and free; O sing, while angels join the chorus, Rolling onward like the sea. When in Jesus we abide, and by faith are justified, We have peace with God the Father through His Name; And the joy that fills the heart, though its earthly hopes depart, Through His all atoning merit we may claim. Refrain When in Jesus we are one we can say, His will be done, We can trust Him where perhaps we cannot trace; For he keeps us by His power, every moment, every hour, And we feel the sweet refreshing of His grace. Refrain Oh, the whispers of His love, how they cheer us from above, While they tell of yonder mansions bright and fair; Where, beyond the swelling tide, we shall anchor at His side, And be gathered with the saints in glory there. Refrain

• [Psa 145:8] The Pilgrim’s Journey

  Slow to anger, full of kindness, Rich in mercy, Lord, Thou art, Wash me in Thy healing fountain, Take away my sinful heart. Refrain I would go the pilgrim’s journey, Onward to the promised land; I would reach the golden city, There to join the angel band. Thou wilt never, never leave me, If I give myself to Thee, Teach, O teach me how to praise Thee, Tell me what my life should be. Refrain May Thy ever gracious spirit, Lead me in the way of truth, May I learn the voice of wisdom, In the early days of youth. Refrain O! how sweet to rest confiding, On Thy Word that cannot fail, Strong in Thee, whate’er my trials, Through Thy grace I must prevail. Refrain
