In His Love and In His Pity

Posted on by

In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. Isaiah 63:9.

In His love and in His pity He redeemed us.
In His love and in His pity He provided heaven.
Never has another loved us like the Savior loves.
How can any one suspend himself upon a cross, and die for me?
Die willingly, to set us free.

But He did love, He had pity on us,
He provided heaven at last.
Shall we not return the favor,
Live each day for our dear Savior,
And one day He will return for us.

How He suffered in the garden for your sin and mine.
See Him trudge up Calvary’s mountain, “Not my will, but Thine.”
Cursing mobs and angry soldiers spit upon that face.
Then the sky in winter darkness proved the depth to which our sin would go,
And Jesus died, He loved us so.

Yes, He did love, He had pity on us.
He provided heaven at last.
Shall we not return the favor,
Live each day for our dear Savior,
And one day He will return for us.

~ Kurt Kaiser

I wish I could find the whole song online somewhere, because the music really helps portray the message beautifully. There is a 90-second clip here. I had only ever heard it sung by Robert Hale of Hale and Wilder fame, but there is another clip with a different section of the song by George Beverly Shea here.

  3. Lovely! I had never heard this before. It would be a good one for Dr. P. to sing, don’t you think?

  5. Hi Barbara,

    I’m looking for the sheet music to this song. You can buy the MP3 from Amazon, sung by Bev Shea. The first time I heard it was on this CD available here (with MP3 downloads of individual songs available for purchase):

    Mr Fisher sings this as a solo in his beautiful baritone voice.
    I am so thankful for the mercy and grace of my Savior, Jesus Christ!

  6. Hi Barbara,
    A more recent recording of Robert Hale singing the song above is on a cd called “Songs of Praises”. it was recorded live .
    Don’t know if the cd is still available.

  7. Hello, Barbara –

    I believe the CD of which Carl is referring was made available through William Jewell College of Liberty, MO. According to their website, it may still be available here: http://www.jewell.edu/william_jewell/gen/media/achieve/summer2004/facultyNews.html

    This recording was made after Dean Wilder’s passing and has various sacred and secular numbers which also include the selections of the piano duo (Steven ) Nielson and (Ovid) Young.

    Thank you.

  8. I found another 90-second clip by Tim Fisher here:

  9. I love this song. You can order a cd with it by Hale and Wilder. Just type Hale and Wilder on the search engine and it will come up. I with Kurt Kaiser would republish the music.

  10. Hi Barbara!
    My voice teacher sang this song as part of his repertoire and as I admired it so, I am in the process of recording it with my sister who has arranged it beautifully. It is being orchestrated by Steve Bratcher in Nashville. It will be available on Amazon as a single for about a dollar in about 3 months. Hope you like it. I can barely sing it without crying!

    • I am looking for the music to sing it. Does anyone have the rights to this that I may purchase it?
