HIS MERCY ENDURETH FOREVER by WILLIAM ARTHUR DUNKERLEY

First Line: OUR FEET HAVE WANDERED, WANDERED FAR AND WIDE
Last Line: AND HIS MERCY ENDURETH FOR EVER!
Subject(s): RELIGION; THEOLOGY;

Our feet have wandered, wandered far and wide, --
@3His mercy endureth for ever!@1
From that strait path in which the Master died, --
@3His mercy endureth for ever!@1
Low have we fallen from our high estate,
Long have we lingered, lingered long and late;
@3But the tenderness of God
Is from age to age the same,
And His Mercy endureth for ever!@1

There is no sin His Love can not forgive; --
@3His mercy endureth for ever!@1
No soul so stained His Love will not receive;
@3His mercy endureth for ever!@1
No load of sorrow but His touch can move,
No hedge of thorns that can withstand His Love;
@3For the tenderness of God
Is from age to age the same,
And His Mercy endureth for ever!@1

So we will sing, whatever may betide; --
@3His mercy endureth for ever!@1
Nought but ourselves can keep us from His side; --
@3His mercy endureth for ever!@1
What though no place we win in life's rough race,
Our loss may prove the measure of His grace.
@3For the tenderness of God
Is from age to age the same,
And His Mercy endureth for ever!@1
