Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #50 (1917) Hymnal Title: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book Lyrics: 1. Father, whose everlasting Love
Thy only Son for sinners gave,
Whose grace to all did freely move,
And sent Him down the world to save:
2. Help us Thy mercy to extol,
Immense, unfathomed, unconfined;
To praise the Lamb who died for all,
The general Saviour of mankind.
3. Thy undistinguishing regard
Was cast on Adam's fallen race,
For all Thou hast in Christ prepared
Sufficient, sovereign, saving grace.
4. The world He suffered to redeem;
For all He hath atonement made;
For those that will not come to Him,
The ransom of His life was paid.
5. Arise, O God! maintain Thy cause;
The fulness of the Gentiles call;
Lift up the standard of Thy cross,
And all shall own Thou diest for all.
