[Father, if mine in Christ Thou art]
The Lord direct your hearts into the love of, &c.
—iii. 5.
Father, if mine in Christ Thou art,
Into Thy love direct my heart,
And plant in me the mind
Which in my patient Saviour was,
When meekly suffering on the cross,
He purchased all mankind.
Into Thy love direct my heart,
And plant in me the mind
Which in my patient Saviour was,
When meekly suffering on the cross,
He purchased all mankind.
Fain would I the compassion prove,
The strength of persevering love,
Which nail'd Him to the tree:
Then should I every soul embrace,
And feel for all the sin-sick race
As Jesus felt for me.
The strength of persevering love,
Which nail'd Him to the tree:
Then should I every soul embrace,
And feel for all the sin-sick race
As Jesus felt for me.
That sea of love in me be found,
Without a bottom or a bound,
That sea which Jesus is;
And let me lose my raptured soul,
Long as eternal ages roll,
In the Divine Abyss.
Without a bottom or a bound,
That sea which Jesus is;
And let me lose my raptured soul,
Long as eternal ages roll,
In the Divine Abyss.
