[Father, Thine offspring own]
As certain also of your own poets have said, &c.
—xvii. 28.
Father, Thine offspring own
Regenerate in Thy Son:
Doubly Thine in Christ we live,
Thine adopted children now;
Heathens would in vain conceive,
Reason fails to tell them how.
Regenerate in Thy Son:
Doubly Thine in Christ we live,
Thine adopted children now;
Heathens would in vain conceive,
Reason fails to tell them how.
Through faith in the God-Man
A being new we gain;
Strong in hope we higher rise,
Swiftly move Thy face to see;
Live the life that never dies,
Find our heaven—in loving Thee.
