"Thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness" (Nehemiah 9:17). "Thou art holy, O Thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel… They shall praise the LORD that seek Him… They shall… declare His righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that He hath done this" (Psalm 22:3,26,31). "My son, give Me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe My ways" (Proverbs 23:26). "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28).
How
kind is our God who has pardoned
And
drawn us with cords of His love,
Who
softened the heart we once hardened
And
set our affections above!
How
holy is God in His ways
With
righteousness that we declare,
As
He now inhabits the praise
Of
souls He has saved from despair!
How
sweet is our Lord's invitation
To
give to Him all of our heart,
To
trust Him in each situation
For
grace He will freely impart!
We
praise You for pardon, O Lord,
That
spared us from infinite loss,
With
rest we could never afford,
Procured
by Your death on the cross!
