| 1 | Father, to us Thy mercy Thou hast shown, |
| | | | In Thine own way; |
| | Sinners like us as dear sons Thou wouldst own, |
| | | | In love for aye. |
| | Vessels of mercy, Thou didst us prepare; |
| | Vessels of honor, we Thyself declare. |
| 2 | In mercy I delight, not sacrifice, |
| | | | Thou hast declared; |
| | Thru this Thy mercy, favor in Thine eyes |
| | | | We all have shared. |
| | Tis not of them that will nor them that run, |
| | But of Thee showing mercy as was done. |
| 3 | Father, Thy mercy with Thy love and grace |
| | | | Did we obtain; |
| | And in Thy mercy, with Thee face to face, |
| | | | Well eer remain; |
| | And for Thy mercy we would worship Thee |
| | Through all our days and through eternity. |
