[Father, accept our sacrifice]

[_]

To—“Sinners, obey the gospel word.”

Father, accept our sacrifice,
Through Christ well pleasing in Thine eyes:
Thy glory here we make our aim,
And eat and drink in Jesu's name;
Our food we now with fear receive,
Nor live to eat, but eat to live,

359

To live till all our work is done,
And serve Thy blessed will alone.
