Author: Doddridge Hymnal: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns #LXXVI (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Sovereign of all the worlds on high Lyrics: 1 Sovereign of all the worlds on high,
Allow my humble claim;
Nor, while a worm would raise their head,
Disdain a Father’s name.
2 My Father God! How sweet the sound!
How tender, and how dear!
Not all the harmony of heaven
Could so delight the ear.
3 Come, sacred spirit, seal the name
On my expanding heart;
And shew, that in Jehovah’s grace
I share a filial part.
4 Cheer'd by a signal so divine,
Unwavering I believe;
And Abba, Father, humbly cry,
Nor can thy sign deceive. Topics: The Christian Life Scripture: Galatians 4:6 Languages: English
