HYMN X.

[Father, Thy own in Christ receive]

Father, Thy own in Christ receive,
Who deeply for our follies grieve,
And cast our sins away,

222

Resolved to lead our lives anew,
Thine only glory to pursue,
And only Thee obey.
Faith in Thy pardoning love we have,
Willing Thou art our souls to save,
For Jesu's sake alone:
Jesus Thy wrath hath pacified,
Jesus, Thy Well-beloved, hath died
For all mankind to' atone.
The death sustain'd for all mankind
With humblest thanks we call to mind,
With grateful joy approve;
And every soul of man embrace,
And love the dearly ransom'd race
In the Redeemer's love.
Receive us then, Thou pardoning God;
Partakers of His flesh and blood
Grant that we now may be;
The Spirit's attesting seal impart,
And speak to every sinner's heart,
The Saviour died for thee!
