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

Faith and peace and purest love.
