Song 152

Appreciating God’s Compassions

(Romans 11:33-35)

1. O what riches, knowledge, wisdom,

Do reside in God the Lord!

How unsearchable his judgments,

Nor has man his ways explored!

Who of us has given counsel

Or to him has rendered aid,

That to us he’d be indebted

Or that we should be repaid?

2. For Jehovah’s great compassion,

Let us gratitude express

And devote our living bodies

To the God of righteousness.

Having made a dedication,

Let us e’er to it be true,

With the power of our reason,

Doing all that we can do.

3. Not to worldly ways conforming,

May we have our minds renewed

By the truth’s transforming power

And with faith be e’er imbued.

Ever praying for God’s blessing,

Let us serve with lowly mind

And show love for one another;

Thus true peace and joy we’ll find.
