  • How Great, Almighty, Is Thy Kindness (Psalm 31)
    How great, Almighty, is Thy kindness! Ah, could a man so hardened live, Who in his heart's unhappy blindness No thanks unto the Lord would give? My duty it shall be forever To feel how loving, Lord, Thou art! As God on high forgot thee never, Do thou forget Him not, my heart! So thankful I obey; He willeth That I, like Him, all love should be, And if my soul His will fulfilleth, His image He doth show in me. Oh when His love my heart is stirring, It leadeth me on duty's way; Though I through weakness may be erring, To sin I cannot fall a prey. (Words: Christian Fürchtegott Gellert; Music: Johann Franck / Matthew Lundquist)
