[Father of Christ our Saviour]
For the Father Himself loveth you, because, &c.
—xvi. 27.
Father of Christ our Saviour,
Thou hast Thy mercy show'd,
Received us into favour,
And shed Thy love abroad:
Thou only didst discover,
Jehovah from above;
And Him our heavenly Lover
We in Thy Spirit love.
Thou hast Thy mercy show'd,
43
And shed Thy love abroad:
Thou only didst discover,
Jehovah from above;
And Him our heavenly Lover
We in Thy Spirit love.
Before the world's foundation
He from Thy bosom came,
The' eternal generation
Of Jesus we proclaim:
And every true believer
Thou for Thy child dost own,
And lovest us for ever,
As members of Thy Son.
