Dayspring has Descended


"The goodness of God endureth continually... I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever" (Psalm 52:1,8).  "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy" (Proverbs 28:13).  "Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for... He will heal us" (Hosea 6:1).  "Through the tender mercy of our God... the Dayspring from on high hath visited us, to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death" (Luke 1:78). 

The goodness of our God endures
Though evil raises up its head
And darkness constantly obscures
The truth of what our Lord has said.   

Behold the mercy God reveals
To those who will forsake their sin:
How graciously His Dayspring heals
The precious souls He died to win!

The mercy of our God is tender
Which sent His Dayspring down to us
To give His life as our Defender
And rise again victorious! 

O Lord, our Dayspring from on high,
How far from heaven You descended
To suffer on the cross and die
To ransom us whom You defended!
