Divine Mercies

Thou Eternal God,

Thin is suprassing greatness, unspeakable
goodness, super-abundant grace;
I can as soon count the sands of ocean's 'lip'
as number thy favours towards me;
I know but a part, but that part exceeds all praise...

But, O, how I mourn my sin, ingratititude, vileness,
the days that add to my guilt...

Yet still I live, and fly repenting to thy outstreched
arms;
thou will not case me off, for Jesus brings me near,
thou wilt not condemn me, for He died in my stead,
thou wilt not mark my mountains of sin,
for He levelled all.
