Magnify His Mercy


"My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth" (Psalm 121:2).  "The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it" (Proverbs 10:22).  "Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you" (Micah 1:2).  "My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior… for He hath visited and redeemed His people, as He spake by the mouth of His holy prophets… through the tender mercy of our God" (Luke 1:46,47,68,70,78). 

The Lord who put the stars in space
And made the earth and all therein,
Has blessed humanity with grace;
His truth and mercy purges sin. 

It is our sin that calls for wrath
And sorrow throughout God's creation,
But truth and mercy forged a path
Through Christ to grant us His salvation.   

The witness of God's holy law
Against us all has testified.
The remedy that God foresaw
Was brought by Christ, who for us died. 

We magnify Your mercy, Lord,
So tender and so marvelous! 
No other love could thus afford
The price You paid to rescue us!
