Father of mercies! send thy grace

Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 178 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:6 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 breasts 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 made the richest of his blood A balm for every wound.
