Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 350 hymnals Topics: Abba, Father First Line: Behold! what wondrous grace Lyrics: 1 Behold! what wondrous grace
The Father has bestowed
On sinners of a mortal race,
To call them sons of God!
2 Nor doth it yet appear
How great we must be made;
But when we see our Saviour here,
We shall be like our Head.
3 A hope so much divine
May trials well endure,
May purge our souls from sense and sin,
As Christ the Lord is pure.
4 If in my Father's love
I share a filial part,
Send down thy Spirit, like a dove,
To rest upon my head.
5 We would no longer lie
Like slaves beneath the throne;
Our faith shall Abba, Father! cry,
And thou the kindred own. Scripture: Romans 8:15 Used With Tune: FERGUSON
