Sung during the Sunday worship at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, London (Spurgeon’s).
Hymn 36 version 2 (based on Psalm 36) from our hymn book, Psalms & Hymns of Reformed Worship.
THY mercy and Thy Truth, O Lord,
Transcend the lofty sky;
Thy judgements are a mighty deep,
And as the mountains high.
Lord, Thou preservest man and beast;
Since Thou art ever kind,
Beneath the shadow of Thy wings
We may a refuge find.
With the abundance of Thy house
We shall be satisfied,
From rivers of unfailing joy,
Our thirst shall be supplied.
The fountain of eternal life
Is found alone with Thee,
And in the brightness of Thy light
We clearer light shall see.
From those that know Thee may Thy love
And mercy not depart,
And may Thy righteousness protect
And bless the upright heart.
