Memory of His Mercy

“All nations whom Thou hast made shall come and worship before Thee, O Lord; and shall glorify Thy name… I will praise Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify Thy name for evermore… For great is Thy mercy toward me: and Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell… Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion… and plenteous in mercy and truth” (Psalm 86:9-15).  “The memory of the just is blessed… The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it” (Proverbs 10:7,22).

At last all nations God has made

Shall come and worship at His feet.

His mercy then shall be displayed;

His truth remembered shall be sweet.

The works of God in all creation

Shall surely glorify His name,

Yet we’ll recall in our salvation

That He in mercy bore our shame!  

  

Eternity was filled with praise

Before He ever left  His throne,

Yet now much more He does amaze

The grateful memory of His own!

The memory of the just is blest,

But none of us were justified

Apart from Christ who gives us rest

Because for sinners He has died. 

How great His mercy is to us: 

He plucked us from the lowest hell!

Forevermore we’ll praise Him thus,

Exploring love too great to tell!

Eternity, that endless morrow,

Is filled with everlasting joy

Because our Lord will add no sorrow,  

And death, at last, He will destroy.

O Lord, we thank You as we think

Of all You did to grant us peace!

You drank the cup we could not drink

Obtaining thus our soul’s release!

The memory, Lord, of Your great love  

Shall be revived and fading never!

With every soul redeemed above

We’ll glorify Your name forever!
