EN 5071 My Soul, Repeat His Praise
Eph.1.6
Versi Version 1
1
My soul, repeat His praise,
Whose mercies are so great;
Whose anger is so slow to rise,
So ready to abate.
2
God will not always chide;
And when His strokes are felt,
His strokes are fewer than our crimes,
And lighter than our guilt.
3
High as the heav’ns are raised,
Above the ground we tread,
So far the riches of His grace
Our highest thoughts exceed.
4
His power subdues our sins;
And His forgiving love
Far as the east is from the west,
Doth all our guilt remove.
5
The pity of the Lord,
To those that fear His Name,
Is such as tender parents feel;
He knows our feeble frame.
6
Our days as are the grass,
Or like the morning flower;
If one sharp blast sweep o’er the field
It withers in an hour.
7
But Thy compassions, Lord,
To endless years endure;
And children’s children ever find
Thy words of promise sure.
