Jehovah ve­ry gra­cious is,
And He doth great com­pas­sion show;
Abundant mer­cy too is His,
And un­to ang­er He is slow.

Good un­to all men is the Lord:
O’er all His works His mer­cy is.
Thy works all praise to Thee af­ford:
Thy saints, O Lord, Thy name shall bless.

The glo­ry of Thy king­dom show
Shall they, and of Thy pow­er tell;
That so men’s sons Thy deeds may know,
Thy king­dom’s grace that doth excel.

Thy king­dom hath no end at all,
It doth through ag­es all re­main.
The Lord up­hold­eth all that fall,
The cast-down rais­eth up again.

The eyes of all up­on Thee wait;
In sea­son Thou their food dost give;
Thine op­ened hand, with boun­ty great,
Supplies the wants of all that live.
