TENDER MERCY

Day by day His tender mercy,
Healing, helping, full and free,
Sweet and strong,and,ah!so patient,
Brought me lower, while I whispered :
Less of self, and more of Thee!

Higher than the highest heaven
Deeper than the deepest sea,
Lord,Thy love at last hath conquered;
Grant me now my supplication :
None of self, and all of Thee!
