==Words==
1.
:God's kind and tender mercies
:Are poured out over all.
:Upon the just and unjust
:He maketh rain to fall.
:To those who sit in darkness
:And shadow of death's night,
:"Awake, come forth!" he crieth,
:"And Christ will give you light."
2.
:The great heart of Jehovah
:Inclines t'ward all who fear,
:Who hope in his rich mercy,
:And whould thro' Christ draw near.
:His infinite compassion
:Sets all the pris'ners free.
:We praise thy Name! for mercy,
:Great God, is found in thee.
3.
:We praise thee for the goodness
:In all thy dealings shown,
:For all the truth and promise
:Thou hast to us made known.
:Firm as the Rock of Ages,
:Thy promise stands secure.
:Thy boundless love and mercy
:Forever shall endure.
