“The LORD preserved David whithersoever he went... and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people” (2 Samuel 8:14,15). “O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good: for His mercy endureth forever… Who remembered us in our low estate… and hath redeemed us from our enemies” (Psalm 136:1,23,24). “By mercy and truth iniquity is purged” (Proverbs 16:6). “But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” (2 Corinthians 10:17).
The
Lord established David’s throne,
And
thus preserved him where he went.
He
made God’s truth and justice known
And
led them in His covenant.
And
yet a King from David’s Seed
Was
promised in a coming day
To
meet the sinner’s greatest need:
To
purge iniquity away!
Give
thanks to God, for He is good!
He
purged away our sin as dross!
For
in our place our Savior stood
And
suffered for us on the cross!
We
do not hope in our endeavor,
But
rather in the work of Christ.
His
mercy shall endure forever!
For
us our Lord was sacrificed!
Praise
God who thus remembered us,
Redeeming
us from sin and death!
Give
thanks for love so marvelous
As
long as we have life and breath!
O
Lord, we join the grateful ranks
Of
sinners that You have redeemed!
Receive
our worship and our thanks
For
riches greater than we dreamed!
We
glory, Lord, alone in You
As
we recall redeeming grace,
For
no one loves us like You do;
We
have no other Hiding Place!
