My People And Mercy

Tune: Wiltshire

('Through all the changing scenes of life')

Hosea 1 v.6-9; 2 v.1; 2 v.23

***********

Hosea married Gomer, she

Mother of children be

Bare daughter, name Lo-ruhamah

God merciful no more

And son she bare, name Lo-ammi

God said, You are not, see

My people for they spiritual

Adulterers be all

But God's promise would come to be

He would again choose, see

His people to be the children

Of the living God then

Lo-ammi, he now called Ammi

And Lo-ruhamah, she

Would be called Ruhamah, God, He

Would again have mercy

So Israel restored, His people

May obtain mercy all

Again, God's plans and purposes

Unto them, true is this
