O God Most Merciful and True { O God Most Merciful and True! Eze 16:62, 63 SEBASTIAN-Samuel Sebastian Wesley O God Most Merciful and True! } O God most merciful and true! Thy nature to my soul impart; Stablish with me the covenant new, And write perfection on my heart. To real holiness restored, O let me gain my Saviour's mind! And, in the knowledge of my Lord, Fulness of life eternal find. Remember, Lord, my sins no more, That them I may no more forget; But sunk in guiltless shame adore With speechless wonder at thy feet. O'erwhelmed with thy stupendous grace, I shall not in thy presence move, But breathe unutterable praise, And rapturous awe, and silent love. Then every murmuring thought and vain Expires, in sweet confusion lost; I cannot of my cross complain, I cannot of my goodness boast. Pardoned for all that I have done, My mouth as in the dust I hide; And glory give to God alone, My God for ever pacified!
