[Father, I joyfully believe]

He smelled the smell of his raiment, &c. —xxvii. 27.

Father, I joyfully believe
Thou art well-pleased with me;
Thou dost at my approach perceive
An heavenly fragrancy;
Thou dost Thy gracious will declare,
Thou dost delight to bless;
And why? my Brother's garb I wear,
My Saviour's righteousness.
