36. Father, We Own Thy Sovereign Claim

8,8,6.
1
Father, we own Thy sovereign claim
 
And bless Thy Son’s most precious name,
 
Whom Thou for us hast given;
 
Who bore the curse to sinners due,
 
Quickened our ruined souls anew,
 
And made us heirs of heaven.
2
’Tis by the Holy Ghost alone
 
That Christ, the Lord, is made our own,
 
The gift of grace divine:
 
But since to us, in His blest face,
 
There shines the glory of Thy grace,
 
We know that we are Thine.
“Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.” (1 Corinthians 12:3)
3
Oh, while we here together join,
 
Before the throne of grace divine,
 
Bow down a Father’s ear;
 
Our hearts have listened to Thy Word,
 
Thy name we praise with glad accord,
 
Reveal Thyself as near.
