MHB 59 – GOOD Thou art, and good Thou dost

Methodist-Hymns-059

1: GOOD Thou art, and good Thou dost,
Thy mercies reach to all,
Chiefly those who on Thee trust,
And for Thy mercy call;
New they every morning are;
As father when their children cry,
Us thou dost in pity spare,
And all our wants supply.

2: Mercy o er thy works presides;
Thy providence displayed
Still preserves, and still provides
For all Thy hands have made;
Keeps with most distinguished care
The man who on Thy love depends;
Watches every numbered hair,
And all his steps attends.

3: .Who can sound the depths unknown
Of Thy redeeming grace;
Grace that gave Thine only Son
To save a ruined race?
Millions of transgressors poor
Thou hast for Jesus sake forgiven,
Made them of Thy favour sure,
And snatched from hell to heaven.

4: .Millions more Thou ready art
To save, and to forgive;
Every soul and every heart
Father, now accept of mine,
Which now, through Christ, I offer Thee;
Tell me now, in love divine,
That Thou hast pardoned me.
