70 The Lord our God most gracious is
Words: Scottish Psalter Music: William Knapp
1 The Lord our God most gracious is,
Compassion He delights to show;
In mercy He is plenteous,
But unto wrath and anger slow.
2 Good unto all men is the Lord;
O'er all His works His mercy is,
Thy works all praise to Thee afford;
Thy saints, O Lord, Thy name shall bless.
3 The glory of Thy kingdom show
Shall they, and of Thy power tell;
That so men's sons His deeds may know
His kingdom's grace that doth excel.
4 Thy kingdom hath no end at all,
It doth through ages all remain;
The Lord upholdeth all that fall,
The cast down raiseth up again.
