102. God of eternal love

1 God of eternal love,
Our Father and our Friend,
We lift our hearts to Thee above;
Do Thou our prayer attend.

2 Baptized into Thy name,
We all have Christ put on:
O may Thy love our hearts inflame,
The course of truth to run.

3 May earthly feelings die,
And fruits of faith increase,
And Adam's nature prostrate lie
Before the Prince of Peace.

4 Endue us, Lord, with strength
To triumph over sin,
That we may with Thy saints at length
Eternal glory win.
