The Leading Mercy of All

It is true, the leading mercy of all, is God himself, Christ himself, the Spirit himself; one God in three Persons, is their God; made over to them in that word, "I will be your God." Here is the fountain-mercy of all mercies, of which they may sing, saying, "This God is our God for ever and ever, and will be our guide even unto death." And indeed to sing of mercy, is to sing of a merciful God.
—Ralph Erskine
