Tune:[When I see the way my Savior leads me]
Composer:W. A. Ogden

27. What Tender Mercy

1 When I see the way my Savior leads me,
Caring for me day by day,
Then I sadly bow my head and wonder
How I could have gone astray.

Refrain:
Oh, what tender, tender mercy!
Oh, what kind and loving care,
Shown us by the dear and loving Shepherd,
From his dwelling place so fair.

2 When I see the way my Savior leads me,
Bearing patiently with me,
Then I know how weak and undeserving
Without him I’d counted be. [Refrain]

3 When I see the way my Savior leads me,
How he crowned and blessed my days,
In my grateful heart is deep thanksgiving,
To my lips spring songs of praise. [Refrain]
