Mercy

No matter how deep the trouble
Where in the grief doth lay
To usher the tears of sorrow
From life's clouds of darkest day

Mercy from the throne of heaven
With a light of endless ray
Can pierce through the darkest clouds of nite
To light the darkest ray

It plays round the deepest trouble
Where in grief doth lay
To glisten through tears of sorrow
Until peace hath kissed away

It parted the waters of the deep
In the ancient days of yore
Showed to the world how God loved his sheep
By covering their trouble o'er.
