There Is A Sea Of Mercy

Author: C. K. Solberg Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #173 (1927) Lyrics: 1 There is a sea of mercy, Wide as eternity; It gives the vile and guilty Salvation full and free; It is the blood of Jesus, Come, sinner, do not weep, From sin and guilt it cleanses, "Launch out into the deep!" 2 There is a sea of promise, Its waters, deep and wide, Most safely on its bosom You reach the other side. It is the word of Scripture With pow'r to save and keep, So full of sweet assurance, "Launch out into the deep!" 3 There is a sea of service That you must daily brave: In spite of raging tempest, Sail out the lost to save! O Christian, do not linger, Shake off the sense of sleep, Away, away to rescue, "Launch out into the deep!" 4 Tho' doubts shall make you falter, And foes shall make you fear, Tho' disappointments gather And sure defeat seems near. Tho' storms are daily raging With fierce and awful sweep, If Jesus is your pilot, "Launch out into the deep!" Topics: Call and Repentance Languages: English Tune Title: [There is a sea of mercy]
