LyicsO GOD, unchanging fount of good,
Thy mercy faileth not;
And yet, by man's unthankful mood,
Thy mercy is forgot.
Thy bounty as unceasing falls,
As falls the plenteous light;
And every blessing on us calls,
Thy goodness to requite.
If mercy, too, comes as the rain,
'Mid clouds of seeming wrath,
Yet still the ministry of pain
A kindly mission hath.
Yea, whatsoe'er thy dealings here,
Thy are in mercy given;
To fit us for a nobler sphere
Of life, with thee, in heaven.
