For thy mercies Unbounded are; Thy love and care

Exceed our utmost wish and prayer.

I'll sing while I have breath in me:
God, as man to us related,
The grateful sense thou hast created
To praise excites me powerfully;
Rise, joyful spirit, rise,
Exalt his sacrifice,
Hallelujah,

In highest strain
To the Lamb slain;

Let heaven and earth reply, Amen.

4 Holy Spirit, we adore thee,
And to thy name give praise and
For graciously directing us [glory,
To seek pardon, peace, and favour
With God, thro' Jesus Christ our
Saviour,

From whom alone salvation flows; O fill us with his love,

So that our walk may prove
To his honour;
And grant that we
Continually

May to thy voice obedient be.

BEHOLD what love the Father hath
On guilty men bestow'd,
That we, who children are of wrath,
Should children be of God.

2 O how beyond expression great
His love in Christ doth shine!
'Tis like himself, the eternal God,

Past knowledge, all divine.

3 Behold, for fallen, guilty man
The Lord of glory dies;
Lays down his life us to redeem,
A precious sacrifice.

4 Now doth our Lord, the Son of
Who for us lived and died,
See of the travail of his soul,

And is well satisfied.

Lost, I now in Christ am found,
Dead, by faith in Christ I live.
2 Father, behold thy Son,
In Christ I am thine own:
Stranger long to thee and rest,
See, the prodigal is come:
Open wide thy arms and breast,
Take the weary wanderer home.

Thy pity view'd me near:
Me thy bowels yearn'd to see,
Me thy mercy ran to find,
Empty, poor, and void of thee,
Hungry, sick, and faint, and blind.
4 Thou on my neck didst fall,
Thy kiss forgave me all:
Still the gracious words I hear,
Words that made the Saviour mine,
Haste, for him the robe prepare,
His be righteousness divine.

Thy sacred name adore;

And let that will be ours.

And leave to thee the rest.

While here our race we run;
But rescue and defend us all
From sin and the evil one.

From every tongue and nation,
Receive a rich reward.
