Father, again in Jesus' Name we Meet

Author: Lucy E. G. Whitmore Appears in 132 hymnals Topics: Opening Hymns Lyrics: 1 Father, again in Jesus' name we meet, And bow in penitence beneath Thy feet: Again to Thee our feeble voices raise To sue for mercy, and to sing Thy praise. 2 O we would bless Thee for Thy ceaseless care, And all Thy work from day to day declare; Is not our life with hourly mercies crowned? Does not Thine arm encircle us around? 3 Alas, unworthy of Thy boundless love, Too oft with careless feet from Thee we rove; But now, encouraged by Thy voice, we come, Returning sinners to a Father's home. 4 O by that Name in Whom all fullness dwells, O by that love which ev'ry love excels, O by that blood so freely shed for sin, Open blest mercy's gate, and take us in.
