[God, my father's gracious God]

The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, &c. —xxii. 14.

God, my father's gracious God,
If Thou hast made choice of me,
Meant to spread Thy name abroad
Through my prosperous ministry;
Thy whole mind in me reveal,
Life, eternal life impart,
Give the gift unspeakable,
Christ discover to my heart.
O Thou just and holy One
Sighs my broken heart for Thee,
Thee the everlasting Son
Grant me eyes of faith to see;
In Thy bleeding form confess'd
All my unbelief remove,

397

Speak into this troubled breast
Faith and peace and purest love.
