Did Mercy not point out the way.

G. P. Morris.

I hear a sound that comes from far;

It fills my soul with joy and love;

Not seraphs’ voices sweeter are,

That echo through the courts above.

’Tis mercy’s voice that strikes my ear,

From Calvary it sounds abroad;

It soothes my soul and calms my fear;

It speaks of pardon bought with blood.
