Thy mercy my God...

"Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song,
The joy of my heart, and the boast of my tongue.
Thy free grace, alone from the first to the last,
Hath won my affection and bound my soul fast.
Thy mercy is more than a match for my heart,
Which wonders to feel its own hardness depart.
Dissolved by Thy goodness, I fall to the ground
And weep to the praise of the mercy I've found."

John Stocker (1777)
