From every stormy wind that blows,
From every swelling tide of woes,
There is a calm, a sure retreat;
’Tis found beneath the mercy seat.
— Hugh Stowell
Conversion of Sinners
The conversion and salvation of sinners is owing entirely to the sovereign mercy of God! It is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs — because sinners always will wrong, and always run wrong.
— Asahel Nettleton
God’s Mercy
God’s mercy is so great that you may sooner drain the sea of its water, or deprive the sun of its light, or make space too narrow, than diminish the great mercy of God.
— C. H. Spurgeon
Mercy
It is mercy to lack mercy, till we are fit for mercy, till we are able to bear the weight of mercy, and make a divine improvement of mercy.
— Thomas Brooks
God’s Mercy
His father saw him – there were eyes of mercy;
he ran to meet him – there were legs of mercy;
he put his arms round his neck – there were arms of mercy;
he kissed him – there were kisses of mercy;
he said to him – there were words of mercy;
Bring here the best robe – there were deeds of mercy;
Wonders of mercy – all mercy!
Oh, what a God of mercy he is!
— Matthew Henry
