Oh, How Great is Thy Compassion

Oh, how great is Thy compassion, Faithful Father, God of grace, That with all our fallen race And in our deep degradation Thou wast merciful that we Might be saved eternally! 2. Thy great love for this hath striven That we may from sin be free And forever live with Thee; Yea, Thy Son Himself hath given And extends an earnest call To His Supper unto all.

3. And for this our soul's salvation Voucheth Thy good Spirit, Lord, In Thy Sacraments and Word. He imparts true consolation, Granteth us the gift of faith That we fear nor hell nor death. 4. Lord, Thy mercy will not leave me, Truth doth evermore abide, Then in Thee I will confide. Since Thy Word cannot decive me, My salvation is to me Well assured eternally.

5. I will praise Thy great compassion, Faithful Father, God of grace, That with all our fallen race And in our deep degradation Thou wast merciful that we Might bring endless praise to Thee.
