O When We Remember The Goodness


Oh, when we remember the goodness
And infinite pity of God,
Who tenderly bore with our hardness,
When over His mercies we trod.

Refrain:
‘Tis low, ’tis low,
Low down at His feet we bow;
‘Tis low, ’tis low,
‘Tis low at His feet we bow;

‘Tis meet that a creature dependent
For even this breath that we draw,
Should feel very grateful, and humbly
Serve God in His beautiful law. [Refrain]

And when we behold the compassion
That flowed from the side of the Just;
Such love to the poor, guilty sinner
Compels us to fall in the dust. [Refrain]

Come, sinner, and ponder a moment,
The pains of the Crucified One;
Was not this to save thee from torment?
Then yield at the feet of the Son. [Refrain]
