“I will sing of mercy and judgement.” Ps. 101. 1

1 Thy mercy, Lord, we praise;
  Of judgment too we sing;
  For all the riches of thy grace
  Our grateful tribute bring.

2 Mercy may justly claim
  A sinner’s thankful voice;
  And judgment joining in the theme,
  We tremble and rejoice.

3 Thy mercies bid us trust;
  Thy judgments strike with awe;
  We fear the last, we bless the first,
  And love thy righteous law.

4 Who can thy acts express,
  Or trace thy wondrous ways?
  How glorious is thy holiness;
  How terrible thy praise!

5 Thy goodness how immense
  To those that fear thy name!
  Thy love surpasses thought or sense,
  And always is the same.

6 Thy judgments are too deep
  For reason’s line to sound.
  Thy tender mercies to thy sheep
  No bottom know, nor bound.
