Mercy on Moses

"The daughter of Pharaoh... saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him...  And she called his name Moses (מֹשֶׁה Mosheh ; "drawing out"): and she said, Because I drew him out of the water" (Exodus 2:5-10).  "Send Thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters" (Psalm 144:7).  "Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable Gift" (2 Corinthians 9:15).   

When Moses was drawn from the water,

It was by Jehovah's compassion

Extended through Pharaoh's own daughter

Through mercy God only could fashion. 

This mercy on Moses we see

By which he was drawn from that river

Reflects how the Lord lovingly

From heaven is moved to deliver. 

The Lord hears the humble who pray

And sends forth His hand from above

To perfectly answer today   

With infinite wisdom and love. 

O Lord, by Your mercy on Moses,

Your kindness to us we can trace! 

You rescued us when we were hopeless

And granted unspeakable grace.
