[Father, in Christ my Father, Thou]

Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre. —v. 2.

Father, in Christ my Father, Thou
Dost sinners for His sake receive:
I touch Thy golden sceptre now,
Accept Thy pardoning grace, and live;
And trust, as I have favour found,
To rise, with all His glories crown'd.
