Sabbath Psalm (Revised from Charles Wesley’s hymn ‘Depth of Mercy’)

Depth of Mercy! Can there be
Mercy still reserved for me?
Can my God His wrath forbear?
Me, the chief of sinners, spare?


I have long withstood His grace,
Long provoked Him to his face;
Wouldn’t listen to His calls,
Grieved Him by a thousand falls.


Oh my wretched soul, repent!
Over every sin, lament!
Every compromise, deplore!
Mourn—then go and sin no more!


Here, for me, my Savior stands,
Holding out His nail-pierced hands;
In His wounds, I see—I feel—
He forgives and loves me still!
