Compassion not Concealed


"Many, O LORD my God, are Thy wonderful works which Thou hast done, and Thy thoughts which are to us-ward... I have not concealed Thy lovingkindness and Thy truth" (Psalm 40:5,10).  "By mercy and truth iniquity is purged" (Proverbs 16:6).  "He delivereth and rescueth, and He worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth" (Daniel 6:27).  "Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee" (Mark 5:19). 

The works of God are wonderful
Which we should surely not conceal. 
He is the Refuge of the soul
Which we are sent to now reveal. 

Our Lord and Savior now has urged
His people to go forth and tell
That by His grace and truth He purged
Our sins to save our souls from hell. 

He rescued and He ransomed us;
He gave to us our second birth. 
His wonders are so marvelous
In heaven and in all the earth! 

Lord, no one loved us in this fashion
With love like Yours that never ends. 
We'll not conceal Your compassion,
But tell it to both foes and friends!
