75. Thy Mercy, O God, Is the Theme of My Song

11s.
by J. Stocker, 1776
1
Thy mercy, O God, is the theme of my song,
 
The joy of my heart, and the boast of my tongue;
 
’Tis free grace alone, from the first to the last,
 
That wins the affections, and binds the soul fast.
“<<A Psalm of David.>> I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O Lord, will I sing.” (Psalm 101:1)
“And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.” (Psalm 35:28)
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” (Ephesians 2:8)
