Depth of mercy!—can there be

by Charles Wesley (1707–1788)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 521.

Verse 1

Depth of mercy!—can there be Mercy still reserved for me? Can my God His wrath forbear? Me, the chief of sinners, spare?

Verse 2

I have long withstood His grace, Long provoked Him to His face, Would not hearken to His calls, Grieved Him by a thousand falls.

Verse 3

Now incline me to repent; Let me now my sins lament; Now my foul revolt deplore, Weep, believe, and sin no more.

Verse 4

There for me the Savior stands, Shows His wounds and spreads His hands; God is love! I know, I feel; Jesus weeps, and loves me still.
