Memory of His Mercy


"I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it… He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee" (Psalm 81:10,16).  "The memory of the just is blessed… The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich" (Proverbs 10:7,22).  "They sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy… for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood… Worthy is the Lamb that was slain" (Revelation 5:9,12).

The Lord who brought His people out  
From Egypt, where they had been slaves,
In that day had removed all doubt:
There is no god like Him who saves. 

How quickly did that memory fade
As through the desert they were led
Beneath the pillar's light and shade
And day by day with manna fed! 

And shall we make the same mistake? 
Shall we forget our Lord and Savior
Who laid His life down for our sake
To make us rich with heaven's favor?

The memory of Your mercy, Lord,
Fills earth and heaven's courts with song
Because You rightly are adored
With grateful praises all day long!
