The Mercies of God

By Marianne Farningham

The mercies of God Are the theme of my song; Like beneficent rivers Life’s pathways among, They flow full of blessing Through valley and plain, As free as the sunshine, As rich as the rain.
The mercies of God Are as sure as the light; They wait for our waking, They guard us at night, They fail us not ever, But as day follows day, They come from our Father To prosper our way.
O, mercies most wonderful! Who can declare God’s tender compassion And infinite care; His love forgets nothing; He, Shepherd and Friend, Is our joy through life’s living, Our rest at its end.
O, corn that is golden, O, forests of green, O, seas of blue beauty With white waves between, You tell of his mercies, But I shall proclaim Through ages eternal How great is his name.
— Marianne Farningham.
