The New Christian Hymnal ‎#216

216. Depth of Mercy! Can There Be

1. Depth of mercy! can there be
Mercy still reserved for me?
Can my God His wrath forbear?
Me, the chief of sinners spare?
Me, the chief of sinners spare?

2. I have long withstood His grace;
Long provoked Him to His face;
Would not hearken to His calls;
Grieved Him by a thousand falls,
Grieved Him by a thousand falls.

3. Lord, incline me to repent;
Let me now my fall lament;
Deeply my revolt deplore,
Weep, believe, and sin no more,
Weep, believe, and sin no more.

4. Still for me the Savior stands,
Shows His wounds, and spreads His hands;
God is love! I know, I feel;
Jesus weeps, and loves me still,
Jesus weeps, and loves me still.
