[Father in Thy hands we are]
Then they sought to take Him: but no man, &c.
—vii. 30.
Father in Thy hands we are
The members of Thy Son,
Trust Thy providential care,
And hang on Thee alone:
Till Thy sovereign goodness please,
And Thou the sacred fence remove,
Neither friends nor men can seize
The objects of Thy love.
The members of Thy Son,
Trust Thy providential care,
And hang on Thee alone:
Till Thy sovereign goodness please,
And Thou the sacred fence remove,
Neither friends nor men can seize
The objects of Thy love.
When Thy wise permissive will
Shall leave us to their power,
Let the world our bodies kill,
In Thine appointed hour;
Safe till then for God we live:
And when our souls from earth are driven,
Trust Thee, Father, to receive,
And give us thrones in heaven.
Shall leave us to their power,
Let the world our bodies kill,
In Thine appointed hour;

And when our souls from earth are driven,
Trust Thee, Father, to receive,
And give us thrones in heaven.
