Melody of Mercy

"I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever: with my mouth will I make known Thy faithfulness to all generations... Justice and judgment are the habitation of Thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before Thy face. Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound... In Thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in Thy righteousness shall they be exalted" (Psalm 89:1,14-16).

The melody of mercy that God Himself makes known
And His faithfulness to every generation,
Does not deny the justice and the judgment of His throne,
But satisfies them fully in salvation.

For His mercy and His truth in Jesus Christ are found
To go before fulfilling judgment's claim.
How happy are those people who know that joyful sound,
Rejoicing all the day in Jesus' name!
