Tune: Melita
(\'Eternal Father, strong to save\')
Psalm 103 v.11-17
**********
For as high as the heaven be
So great is the Lord\'s mercy, see
Towards them that do Him here fear
With reverence to Him draw near
And far as east is from west
He removed our sins, we confessed
Like fathers pity their children
He does remember out state then
That we are dust, mortal mankind
Yet in Him may salvation find
For He does know our frame, and He
Compassionate to us shall be
As for mankind, our days are as
Grass, as flowers of field, soon pass
Flourishes, and hen wind does blow
Over it, then place it not know
For it be gone, taken away
And so be mankind\'s little day
But the mercy of the Lord is
From everlasting, true is this
And unto everlasting on
They that fear Him, each daughter, son
His righteousness extends unto
Children\'s children, it fresh and new
