A debtor to mercy alone, of covenant mercy I sing;
Nor fear, with Thy righteousness on, my person and off’ring to bring.
The terrors of law and of God with me can have nothing to do;
My Savior’s obedience and blood hide all my transgressions from view.
The work which His goodness began, the arm of His strength will complete;
His promise is Yea and Amen, and never was forfeited yet.
Things future, nor things that are now, nor all things below or above,
Can make Him His purpose forgo, or sever my soul from His love.
My name from the palms of His hands eternity will not erase;
Impressed on His heart it remains, in marks of indelible grace.
Yes, I to the end shall endure, as sure as the earnest is giv’n;
More happy, but not more secure, the glorified spirits in heav’n.

Comments1I just came across Augustus Montague Toplady's poem, and I must say, it really had a profound impact on me. The way he emphasizes the power of mercy and God's love for all of us is truly inspiring. I particularly resonated with the lines, "My Savior’s obedience and blood hide all my transgressions from view." It's a beautiful reminder that even when we make mistakes, we are still worthy of love and forgiveness. Toplady's words really serve as a comforting reminder of God's eternal compassion and support in times of struggle.
