165. Sovereign Mercy

1 Sovereign mercy a sinner may claim,
O tell the sweet message abroad;
And let us rejoice and give praise to his name,
And trust in the mercy of God.

Chorus:
Sovereign mercy, abundance and free!
O sovereign mercy of God!
There is mercy on high, and I will rely
On the sovereign mercy of God.

2 Sovereign mercy of infinite worth!
'Tis deep as a fathomless sea;
As far as "the heavens are higher than earth."
So great is God's mercy to me. [Chorus]

3 Sovereign mercy is all I can plead,
For I have no good of my own;
But God is enough for my uttermost need,
And I trust in his mercy alone. [Chorus]
