|
| 1 | O God, whose wondrous name is Love, | 1 John 4:8,16; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Acts 3:15; John 19:34; Romans 8:32; 1 Peter 5:7 |
| Whose grace has fashioned us anew, |
| Before Thy face now stands the Lamb, |
| Whom sinful man once pierced and slew; |
| For us Thy Son Thou didst not spare, |
| For us how canst Thou cease to care? |
|
| 2 | O heavenly Father, grant us all | 1 Peter 2:2; 2 Corinthians 11:3; Mark 9:24; Matthew 21:21; Titus 1:2; John 17:17 |
| The newborn babe's simplicity! |
| From us the doubtful mind remove; |
| We boast a God that cannot lie! |
| Taught to repose, through love divine, |
| On truth itself, on truth divine. |
|
| 3 | Thou art the Potter, we the clay, | Isaiah 64:8; Ephesians 5:17; John 3:21; Colossians 1:9; John 15:9-11; Psalm 91:5; Revelation 21:4; Revelation 22:5 |
| Thy will be ours, Thy truth our light, |
| Thy love the fountain of our joy, |
| Thine arm a safeguard day and night, |
| Till Thou shalt wipe all tears away, |
| And bring forth everlasting day. |
