395. PART 1. “Our Father, which art in Heaven.”
1
May we call our God, “Our Father?”The eternal, wise, and just!
We approach his awful presence?
Sinners! children of the dust!
Be encouraged
In his mercy still to trust.
2
May we banish all our terrors,And to God for pardon cry?
May we raise our aspirations
To the everlasting sky;
And, 'mid glory,
Hope to enter, when we die?
3
Whence this privilege surpassing,Granted to our fallen race?
Whence this confident reliance
On complete and sovereign grace?
This assurance
To behold our Maker's face?
4
Heavenly Father! once offended,Now thy wrath is turn'd away!
Thou art reconciled to sinners!
One has stoop'd, our debt to pay!
Christ hath suffer'd,
And reveal'd the living way!
