HYMN XIV.

[Father of Jesus Christ, the Just]

[_]

To—“Jesus, we hang upon Thy word.”

Father of Jesus Christ, the Just,
My Friend and Advocate with Thee,
Pity a soul, who fain would trust
In Him who lived and died for me:
But only Thou canst make Him known,
And in my heart reveal Thy Son.
If, drawn by Thine alluring grace,
My want of living faith I feel,
Show me in Christ Thy smiling face;
What flesh and blood can ne'er reveal,
Thy co-eternal Son display,
And call my darkness into day.
The gift unspeakable impart,
Command the light of faith to shine,
To shine in my dark drooping heart,
And fill me with the life Divine:
Now bid the new creation be;
O God, let there be faith in me!
Thee without faith I cannot please:
Faith without Thee I cannot have:
But Thou hast sent the Prince of peace
To seek my wandering soul, and save:
O Father! glorify Thy Son,
And save me for His sake alone!

228

Save me, through faith in Jesu's blood,
That blood which He for all did shed;
For me, for me, Thou know'st it flow'd,
For me, for me, Thou hear'st it plead;
Assure me now my soul is Thine,
And all Thou art in Christ is mine!
