The door of thy mercy stands open all day to the needy and poor who knock by the way. No sinner shall ever be empty sent back who comes seeking mercy for Jesus' dear sake. Thy mercy in Jesus exempts me from hell. Its glories I'll sing, and its wonders I'll tell. Twas Jesus the friend when he hung on the tree that opened the channel of mercy for me. John Stocker.

Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity and in whose spirit there is no deceit. Psalm 32:1-2.

Dark is the stain that we cannot hide. What can avail to wash it away? Look, there is flowing a crimson tide, brighter than snow you may be today. Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace, freely bestowed on all who believe. You that are longing to see his face, will you this moment, his grace, receive. Julia Johnston.
