|
<p>Now I have found the ground wherein<br>
|
|
Sure my soul’s anchor may remain,<br>
|
|
The wounds of Jesus, for my sin<br>
|
|
Before the world’s foundation slain;<br>
|
|
Whose mercy shall unshaken stay,<br>
|
|
When heaven and earth are fled away.</p>
|
|
<p>Father, Thine everlasting grace<br>
|
|
Our scanty thought surpasses far;<br>
|
|
Thy heart still melts with tenderness,<br>
|
|
Thy arms of love still open are,<br>
|
|
Returning sinners to receive,<br>
|
|
That mercy they may taste and live.</p>
|
|
<p>O Love, Thou bottomless abyss,<br>
|
|
My sins are swallowed up in Thee!<br>
|
|
Covered is my unrighteousness,<br>
|
|
Nor spot of guilt remains on me,<br>
|
|
While Jesus’ blood, through earth and skies,<br>
|
|
Mercy, free, boundless mercy, cries.</p>
|
|
<p>With faith I plunge me in this sea,<br>
|
|
Here is my hope, my joy, my rest;<br>
|
|
Hither, when hell assails, I flee,<br>
|
|
I look into my Savior’s breast;<br>
|
|
Away, sad doubt, and anxious fear!<br>
|
|
Mercy is all that’s written there.
|
|
<p>Though waves and storms go o’er my head,<br>
|
|
Though strength, and health, and friends be gone,<br>
|
|
Though joys be withered all and dead,<br>
|
|
Though every comfort be withdrawn,<br>
|
|
On this my steadfast soul relies,<br>
|
|
Father, Thy mercy never dies.
|
|
<p>Fixed on this ground will I remain,<br>
|
|
Though my heart fail, and flesh decay;<br>
|
|
This anchor shall my soul sustain,<br>
|
|
When earth’s foundations melt away;<br>
|
|
Mercy’s full power I then shall prove,<br>
|
|
Loved with an everlasting love.</p>
