Son of God, Eternal Savior

Author: Somerset C. Lowry Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Son of God, eternal Savior, Source of life and truth and grace, Son of Man, whose birth incarnate Hallows all our human race, Thou, our head who, throned in glory, For Thine own dost ever plead, Fill us with Thy love and pity; Heal our wrongs, and help our need. 2. Bind us all as one together In Thy Church’s sacred fold, Weak and healthy, poor and wealthy, Sad and joyful, young and old. Is there want, or pain, or sorrow? Make us all the burden share. Are there spirits crushed and broken? Teach us, Lord, to soothe their care. 3. As Thou, Lord, hast lived for others, So may we for others live; Freely have Thy gifts been granted, Freely may Thy servants give. Thine the gold and Thine the silver, Thine the wealth of land and sea, We but stewards of Thy bounty, Held in solemn trust for Thee. 4. Come, O Christ, and reign among us, King of love, and Prince of peace, Hush the storm of strife and passion, Bid its cruel discords cease: By Thy patient years of toiling, By Thy silent hours of pain, Quench our fevered thirst of pleasure, Shame our selfish greed of gain. 5. Son of God, eternal Savior, Source of life and truth and grace, Son of Man, whose birth incarnate Hallows all our human race, Thou who prayedst, Thou who willest, That Thy people should be one, Grant, O Grant our hope’s fruition: Here on earth Thy will be done.
