HYMN C.
[O Father, I am but a child]
O Father, I am but a child,
My body is made of the earth,
My nature, alas! is defiled,
And a sinner I was from my birth;
Not worthy to lift up my face
To a God on His heavenly throne,
Yet allow me to pray for Thy grace,
For without it I must be undone.
My body is made of the earth,
My nature, alas! is defiled,
And a sinner I was from my birth;
Not worthy to lift up my face
To a God on His heavenly throne,
Yet allow me to pray for Thy grace,
For without it I must be undone.
I cannot obey Thy commands
Unassisted by grace from above;
No grace I deserve at Thy hands,
Yet I hope to recover Thy love:
Thy mercy is promised to all,
The Giver of Jesus Thou art,
And therefore attend to my call,
And discover His love to my heart.
Unassisted by grace from above;
No grace I deserve at Thy hands,
Yet I hope to recover Thy love:
Thy mercy is promised to all,
The Giver of Jesus Thou art,
And therefore attend to my call,
And discover His love to my heart.
