“Rich in mercy" Jesus died,
With a thief on either side:
"Rich in mercy," Jesus there,
Let a thief that "mercy" share.
"Grace and glory" there he got;
"Mercy" saved him on the spot.
“Rich in mercy" flowed His blood,
Reconciling me to God.
“Rich in mercy" when I strayed,
By that "mercy" I was stayed,
And of all His love was told,
"Mercy's" gifts are manifold.
“Rich in mercy" on my head
Oil of boundless joy He shed.
All my sins are put away,
All is turned to brightest day,
To thy "mercy," Lord, belongs
Never ceasing sweetest songs.
“Rich in mercy," Lord still lead me,
"Rich in mercy" do Thou feed me;
I would live with Thee above,
Deeply drinking in Thy love,
Richer "mercy" ever grasping,
Richer glory everlasting.
Rich is "mercy's" fountain streaming".
Floods of blessing—glory beaming—
Sinner, O accept this Jesus,
Who from sin and sorrow frees us.
See Him stand with outstretched arms,
"Rich in mercy's" thousand charms.
“Rich in mercy," rich in grace:
Rich with "mercy" beams His face,
Rich His "mercy," lost one come,
“Rich in mercy," ALL IS DONE.
“Rich in mercy," He is MINE.
“Rich in mercy," is He THINE
