The new
hymn “For the Storehouse of Your Mercy” is
now available in hymn sheet with chords.
I
consider this new hymn to be among the best I have written.
For the storehouse of Your mercy, for
Your persevering grace,
From my heart I speak thanksgiving,
From my lips I offer praise.
Was there ever deeper goodness
than is offered from above?
Such an endless stream of
kindness, such a reservoir of love!
I was blind to heaven’s mercy til
the day I spoke Your name;
Full of fears and fond delusions,
full of deadening guilt and shame.
Then Your mercy sought and found
me, holy kindness drew me in,
And Your grace roared like the
ocean, overwhelming all my sin.
Down from heaven, out from Calvary, still it flows to save and heal:
To the nations, for each person,
there is mercy rich and real.
The transforming grace of Jesus,
who is mighty still to save,
Floods the earth and fills the
heavens, kills despair and robs the grave.
When the earth at last shall
perish, and the heavens burn away,
Then in worlds yet uncreated we
will thrive in endless day.
And the mercy of our Saviour,
shining then more brightly still,
We will celebrate forever, on New Zion’s holy hill.
Set to
the American folk tune “Beach Spring”, we have used this hymn on several
occasions at church, led by the Praise Band. It will be sung next Sunday in our
traditional service by one of our choirs.
You can
receive a PDF copy via email, free upon request.
A chord
sheet and lyric sheet are also available at no charge.
