HYMN 7.
GOD's Mercy shining: Or, The Chanel of Divine Mercy over-flowing.
1 WE of thy Mercy, Lord, will sing, O it is Infinite! Of all our Joys it is the spring, let's Praise thee Day and Night: 2 Our Miseries will have an end, but thy Mercies abide From Age to Age, it does extend like to a swelling Tide,
3 That flows over all Banks and Bounds amazing to behold; O'er all the World thy Mercy sounds, O it is manifold! ⟨p. 12⟩4 But thy redeeming Mercy, Lord, we chiefly do admire; Christ is the Chanel where it runs, to raise the Wonder higher!
5 O Mercy then! Mercy we need, thy pardoning Mercy's sweet! Preventing Mercy does, in Christ, with every Mercy meet. 6 Sinners! take hold of Mercy then! let Saints Mercy adore: And for thy Mercy let all Men sing Praise for Evermore.
