259 Depth of Mercy, Can There Be

Depth of mercy, can there beMercy still reserved for me?Can my God His wrath forbear?Me, the chief of sinners, spare?"Whence to me this waste of love?"Ask my Advocate aboveSee the cause in Jesus' faceNow before the throne of graceI have long withstood His graceLong provoked Him to His faceWould not harken to His callsGrieved Him by a thousand fallsThere, for me, the Savior standsShows His wounds, and spreads His handsGod is love, His grace so freeDepth of mercy, there for meI my Master have deniedI afresh have crucifiedAnd profaned His hallowed namePut Him to an open shameJesus speaks and pleads His bloodHe disarms the wrath of GodNow my Father's mercies moveHe receives me with His love
