Pondering our Pardoner

"Who is a God like unto Thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of His heritage?..... He delighteth in mercy.... He will subdue our iniquities, and Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea" (Micah 7:18-19). "Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort" (2 Corinthians 1:3).

Who can we find, Lord, that comforts like You?
You pardon our sins, and You cast them away
Down to the depths where they're hidden from view
And never brought up to be put on display.

Great are the comforts that flow from Your love,
O Father of mercies, through Jesus our Lord!
Endless Compassion came down from above
To suffer our judgment from Your righteous sword.

God of all comfort, we ponder in part
Your mercy too boundless to now comprehend!
Time is too short to unveil Your heart,
Which we shall delight to explore without end!
