The London Fox Singers - Now I Have Found the Ground

Now I have found the ground, wherein
Sure my soul's anchor may remain
The wounds of Jesus, for my sin
Before the world's foundation slain
Whose mercy shall unshaken stay
When heaven and earth are fled away

Father, Thy everlasting grace
Our scanty thought surpasses far
Thy heart still melts with tenderness
Thy arms of love still open are
Returning sinners to receive
That mercy they may taste, and live

O Love, Thou bottomless abyss
My sins are swallowed up in Thee
Covered is my unrighteousness
Nor spot of guilt remains in me
While Jesus' blood, through earth and skies
Mercy, free, boundless mercy, cries

With faith I plunge me in this sea
Here is my hope, my joy, my rest
Hither, when hell assails, I flee
I look into my Saviour's breast
Away, sad doubt, and anxious fear
Mercy is all that's written there

Though waves and storms go o'er my head
Though strength, and health, and friends be gone
Though joys be withered all, and dead
Though every comfort be withdrawn
On this my steadfast soul relies
Father, Thy mercy never dies

Fixed on this ground will I remain
Though my heart fail, and flesh decay
This anchor shall my soul sustain
When earth's foundations melt away
Mercy's full power I then shall prove
Loved with an everlasting love

Mercy's full power I then shall prove
Loved with an everlasting love
