Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CDLXX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Attend, ye children of your God Lyrics: 1 Attend, ye children of your God
Ye heirs of glory hear;
Let accents so divine as these,
Might charm the dullest ear.
2 Baptiz'd into your Savior's death,
Your souls to sin must die;
With Christ your Lord, ye live anew,
With Christ ascend on high.
3 There by his father's side he sits
Enthron'd divinely far;
Yet owns himself your brother still,
And your forerunner there.
4 Rise from these earthly trifles, rise
On wings of faith and love;
Above your choicest treasure lies,
And be your hearts above.
5 But earth and sin will drag us down,
When we attempt to fly;
Lord, send thy strong attractive power
To raise and fix us high. Topics: Baptism Scripture: Colossians 3:1 Languages: English
