Text: | O Father of Mercy, Be Ever Adored |
Author: | Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 |
Tune: | HANOVER |
Composer: | William Croft, 1678-1727 |
1 O Father of mercy, be ever adored!
Thy love was displayed in sending our Lord
To ransom and bless us, Thy goodness we praise
For sending in Jesus salvation by Grace.
2 Most merciful Savior, Who deignedst to die
Our curse to remove and our pardon to buy,
Accept our thanks-giving, Almighty to save,
Who openest heaven to all that believe.
3 O Spirit of wisdom, of love, and of power,
We prove Thy blest influence, Thy grace we adore;
Whose inward revealing applies our Lord’s blood,
Attesting and sealing us children of God.
