Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 813 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Depth of mercy! Can there be
Mercy still reserved for me?
Can my God His wrath forbear?
Me, the chief of sinners, spare?
I have long withstood His grace,
Long provoked Him to His face,
Would not hearken to His calls,
Grieved Him by a thousand falls.
2 Whence to me this waste of love?
Ask my Advocate above;
See the cause in Jesus' face.
Now before the throne of grace.
There for me the Saviour stands,
Shows His wounds, and spread His hands;
God is love! I know, I feel;
Jesus weeps, and loves me still!
3 Jesus, answer from above;
Is not all Thy nature love?
Wilt thou not the wrong forget,
Suffering me to kiss Thy feet?
If I rightly read Thy heart,
If Thou all compassion art,
Bow Thine ear, in mercy bow,
Pardon and accept me now.
