Words
⤢ Full screenMy soul, repeat His praise,Whose mercies are so great;Whose anger is so slow to rise,So ready to abate.
High as the heavens are raisedAbove the ground we tread,So far the riches of his graceOur highest thoughts exceed.
The pity of the Lord,To those that fear his name,Is such as tender parents feel;He knows our feeble frame.
His power subdues our sins;And his forgiving love,Far as the east is from the west,Doth all our guilt remove.
