The Lord Is Very Gracious

1. The Lord He is very gra-cious
In Mercy He’s Plenteous
And he doth great compassion show:
But unto wrath doth slow.

2. ‘Good unto all Men is the Lord,’
Who calls in truth on him,
O’er all his works his Mercy is,
Of great lib’rality.

3. Thy works all Praise to thee afford:
For all that thou hast done
Thy saints, o Lord, thy name shall bless
And show great Joy in Thee.

4. ‘The glory of thy kingdom show
Forever bless his name
Shall they, and of thy power tell’
The greatness of thy might.

5. That so men’s sons his deeds may know
Great and wonderful thing
His kingdom’s glories that excel
Beyond Man’s great knowledge.

6. ‘Thy kingdom hath none end at all;
I will thee bless and sing
It doth through ages all remain;
And ever. so shall be.

7. The Lord upholdeth all that fall,
His eyes attend to them,
The cast down raiseth up again,
They that wait upon Him.
