340. Father, We Commend Our Spirits

8,7.
by D.A. Thrupp
1
Father, we commend our spirits
 
To Thy love, in Jesus’ name,
 
Love which His atoning merits
 
Give us confidence to claim.
“Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. <<Unto the Galatians written from Rome.>>.” (Galatians 6:18)
“The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen. <<The second epistle unto Timotheus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Ephesians, was written from Rome, when Paul was brought before Nero the second time.>>.” (2 Timothy 4:22)
2
Oh how sweet, how real a pleasure
 
Flows from love so full and free!
 
’Tis a vast, exhaustless treasure,
 
Savior, we possess in Thee!
“May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height. And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.” (Ephesians 3:18-19)
3
From the world and its confusion,
 
Here we turn and find our rest,
 
From its care and its delusion,
 
Turn to Thee, in whom we’re blest.
4
By the Holy Ghost anointed,
 
May we do the Father’s will,
 
Walk the path by Him appointed,
 
All His pleasure to fulfill.
“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” (Philippians 2:13)
