1 Thy ceaseless, unexhausted love,
Unmerited and free,
Delights our evil to remove,
And help our misery.
2 Thou waitest to be gracious still;
Thou dost with sinners bear,
That sav'd, we may thy goodness feel,
And all thy grace declare.
3 Thy goodness and thy truth to me,
To ev'ry soul abound;
A vast, unfathomable sea,
Where all our thoughts are drown'd.
4 Its streams the whole creation reach,
So plent'ous is the store;
Enough for all, enough for each,
Enough for evermore!
5 Faithful, O Lord, thy mercies are!
A rock that cannot move;
A thousand promises declare
Thy constancy of love!
6 Throughout the universe it reigns,
Unalterably sure;
And while the truth of God remains,
This goodness must endure.
