"So Jesus looked"

Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 178 hymnals Topics: Activity First Line: Father of mercies! send thy grace Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies! send thy grace, All powerful from above, To form in our obedient souls The image of thy love. 2 Oh, may our sympathizing breast The generous pleasure know, Kindly to share in others' joy, And weep for others' woe! 3 When the most helpless sons of grief In low distress are laid, Soft be our hearts their pains to feel, And swift our hands to aid. 4 So Jesus looked on dying men, When throned above the skies; And 'mid the embraces of his God, He felt compassion rise. 5 On wings of love the Saviour flew, To raise us from the ground, And make the richest of his blood A balm of every wound. Scripture: Matthew 25:40 Used With Tune: REMSEN

And call it back to life; A look of love bid sin depart, And still unholy strife. 3 No act falls fruitless; none can tell How vast its power may be, Nor what results infolded dwell Within it silently. 4 Work on, despair not, bring thy mite, Nor care how small it be; God is with all that serves the right, The holy, true, and free.
