Memories of Mercies

“Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.  When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.  In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul” (Psalm 94:17-19).

How many are those memories

When mercy held us up,

When lovingkindness calmed our seas,

And blessings filled our cup!

It didn’t always look that way

When mercies were disguised,

But trials prompted us to pray,

And grace was realized.

O Lord, we thank You for Your grace

Which comforts us through life

With mercies we delight to trace

In peace as well as strife.
