RPO -- Anna Letitia Waring : Tender Mercies, on my Way

Anna Letitia Waring (1823-1910)

Tender Mercies, on my Way

1Tender mercies, on my way

2 Falling softly like the dew,

3Sent me freshly every day,

4 I will bless the Lord for you.

5Though I have not all I would,

6 Though to greater bliss I go,

7Every present gift of good

8 To Eternal Love I owe.

9Source of all that comforts me,

10 Well of joy for which I long,

11Let the song I sing to Thee

12 Be an everlasting song.
