Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
Psalm 86:15

Music: Benevento arranged from Samuel Webbe, Sr., 1792 (🔊 pdf nwc).

Lord, and am I yet alive?
Not in torments, not in hell!
Still doth Thy good Spirit strive,
With the chief of sinners dwell!
Yes, I still lift up my eyes,
Will not of Thy love despair,
Still in spite of sin I rise,
Still to call Thee mine I dare.
O the length and breadth of love!
Jesus, Savior, can it be?
All Thy mercy’s height I prove,
All its depth, is seen in me!
O the miracle of grace!
Tell it out, to sinners tell!
Fiends, and men, and angels gaze,
I am, I am out of hell!
Turn aside, a sight t’admire,
I the living wonder am!
See a bush that burns with fire,
Unconsumed amidst the flame!
See a stone that hangs in air!
See a spark in oceans dwell!
Kept alive with death so near,
I am, I am, out of hell!
