457:Depth of mercy! Can there be

Tunes: Depth of mercy, 247
Meter: 7.7.7.7.

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

God is love, I know, I feel,
Jesus lives and loves me still.
Jesus lives, he lives and loves me still.

2 I have long withstood his grace,
Long provoked him to his face,
Would not hearken to his calls,
Grieved him by a thousand falls.

3 Whence to me this waste of love?
Ask my Advocate above;
See the cause in Jesus? face,
Now before the throne of grace.

4 There for me the Saviour stands,
Shows his wounds, and spreads his hands.
God is love, I know, I feel,
Jesus lives and loves me still.
