Redeeming Lord, your grace we prove, serve you with awe, with reverence love. 2 Lo, God is here! Both day and night united choirs of angels sing; to God, enthroned above all height, heaven's host their noblest praises bring; disdain not, Lord, our meaner song, who praise you with a stammering tongue. 3 Being of beings, may our praise your courts with grateful fragrance fill; still may we stand before your face, still hear and do your sovereign will; to you may all our thoughts arise, ceaseless, accepted sacrifice.

Father of mercies! send thy grace

Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 178 hymnals Scripture: Romans 12:15 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.
