Author: Dr. Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 178 hymnals Scripture: Luke 10:29-37 First Line: Father of mercies send thy grace Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies send thy grace,
All powerful from above,
To form, in our obedient souls,
The image of thy love.
2 O 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 look'd on dying man,
When thron'd above the skies;
And 'midst the embraces of his God,
He felt compassion rise.
5 On wings of love the Savior flew,
To raise us from the ground;
And shed the richest of his blood,
A balm for every wound. Topics: Graces of the Spirit Love to Enemies; Charity; Parable of the Good Samaritan; Love To our neighbour; The Good Samaritan

early let us do your will;
blessed Lord and only Savior,
with your love our spirits fill.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
you have loved us; love us still.

that my love is weak and faint;
yet I love thee, and adore;
O for grace to love thee more!

Tom Colvin
1925 - 2000 Scripture: Luke 10:25-37 Adapter of "Jesu, Jesu, Fill Us with Your Love" in Songs for Life Tom Colvin (b. 1925; d. 2000) was trained as an engineer and worked in that profession in Burma and Singapore from 1945 to 1948. After studying theology at Trinity College, Glasgow University, he was ordained in the Church of Scotland in 1954. He served as missionary in Nyasaland (now Malawi) from 1954 to 1958, in Ghana from 1958 to 1964, and again in Nyasaland from 1964 to 1974. His work there included preaching, education, and community development. After completing his missionary work, Colvin became a minister in the United Reformed Church of England and served an inner-city church in London. He returned to Africa in 1984 as a development consultant to the Zimbabwe Christian Council. Colvin's writings include Christ's Work in Free Africa (1964) and three collections of hymns, many written in collaboration with African Christians–Free to Serve (1966), Leap My Soul (1976), and Fill Us with Your Love (1983).

Fred Pratt Green
1903 - 2000 Scripture: Luke 10:37 Author of "A Man Had Been Robbed of All He Had" in Scripture Song Database The name of the Rev. F. Pratt Green is one of the best-known of the contemporary school of hymnwriters in the British Isles. His name and writings appear in practically every new hymnal and "hymn supplement" wherever English is spoken and sung. And now they are appearing in American hymnals, poetry magazines, and anthologies.
Mr. Green was born in Liverpool, England, in 1903. Ordained in the British Methodist ministry, he has been pastor and district superintendent in Brighton and York, and now served in Norwich. There he continued to write new hymns "that fill the gap between the hymns of the first part of this century and the 'far-out' compositions that have crowded into some churches in the last decade or more."
