The Church Hymnary (3rd Ed.) ‎#6

6. Thy mercy, Lord, is in the heavens

1 Thy mercy, Lord, is in the heavens;
Thy truth doth reach the clouds:
Thy justice is like mountains great;
Thy judgments deep as floods:

2 Lord, thou preservest man and beast.
How precious is thy grace!
Therefore in shadow of thy wings
Men’s sons their trust shall place.

3 They with the fatness of thy house
Shall be well satisfied;
From rivers of thy pleasures thou
Wilt drink to them provide.

4 Because of life the fountain pure
Remains alone with thee;
And in that purest light of thine
We clearly light shall see.

5 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom we adore,
Be glory, as it was, and is,
And shall be evermore.

Amen.
