Jeremiah 31:12: For Thy truth and mercy's sake
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
For Thy truth and mercy's sake.
As a water'd garden make
Eveiy soul that gasps for God,
With Thine holiest love o'erflow'd.
Till by just degrees we rise
Thy terrestrial paradise.
When from Thee we cannot turn,
Then we never more shall mourn,
Quite recover'd from our fall,
Shall not sin or grieve at all,
Then we pray, give thanks, adore,
Sing, and triumph evermore.
