Mediator of Mercy

"O praise Lord, all ye nations: praise Him, all ye people. For His merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth forever. Praise ye the Lord." (Psalm 117:1,2). "Ye are come unto... God, the Judge of all... and to Jesus, the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of the sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel" (Hebrews 12:22-24).

Oh praise the Lord every tribe and nation
For the mercy our God has bestowed
And the truth satisfied by our Lord's mediation
When He bore our iniquity's load!

For now we are come to the Judge justified,
And to Jesus, our soul's Mediator,
Whose blood paid the debt for our sin when died
And speaks of His grace that is greater.
