Love and Mercy 8787 D
TUNE: Here is Love
In the garden Christ is praying
To the Father up above.
By the sweat that falls in red drops,
His obedience proves His love.
On the cross our Lord is dying
For the sins of all mankind;
Soon His body will be lying
Still and silent, deaf and blind.
Through His death we find redemption,
By His life we’re freed from sin;
He will grant us all salvation,
If our hearts will let Him in.
Love and mercy, grace abounding,
God is reaching from above;
He is pouring out His mercy,
He is pouring out His love.

This is the second of the batch of hymns that I wrote recently when I was in Utah. Sung to the beautiful tune of 'Here is Love', written by Robert Lowry in the 1800's, this hymn was inspired as a result of my visit to the Carl Bloch exhibition, and the wonderful painting of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane.
