From the recording Come Away My Beloved (P)2000
Lyrics
Walking by a stream in the forest On a bright hazy winter day And I saw the beauty of holiness Of the Lord was before me always
For the Lord is abounding in mercy
He has not dealt with us after our sins For as the heavens are high above Earth So great is His mercy Towards them that will fear Him
Bless the Lord 0' my soul
And all within me will bless His name He forgives us for all of our sins And heals us from all our diseases
For God redeems your life from destruction And crowns thee with lovingkindness and mercy Who satisfies thy mouth with good things And so your youth is renewed like the eagles
The Lord has established His throne in the heavens And His Kingdom will rule over all
For God has removed from us all of our sins As far as the East from the West
As a father pitieth his children
So the Lord pities them that fear His name
For He knows our frame, He remembers that we are dust As for man, his days they are as grass As a flower of the field, so He flourishes But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting And His righteousness unto our children's children
