VERSES ON TEXTS: PSALMS 147, 2 by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL

First Line: O MYSTERY OF GRACE
Last Line: IN THY SWEET MERCY'S BOUNDLESS MEASURE!
Subject(s): PLEASURE;
O MYSTERY of grace,
That chooseth us to stand before Thy face,
To be Thy 'special treasure,'
Thy portion, Thy delight, Thine own
That taketh pleasure
In them that fear Thy Name, that hope alone
In Thy sweet mercy's boundless measure!
