Author: Basil Woodd, 1760-1831 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #51 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Hail, thou Source of every blessing,
Sovereign Father of mankind!
Gentiles now, thy grace possessing,
In thy courts admission find.
2 Once far off, but now invited,
We approach thy sacred throne;
In thy covenant united,
Reconciled, redeemed, made one.
3 Now revealed to eastern sages,
See the star of mercy shine,
Mystery hid in former ages,
Mystery great of love divine.
4 Hail, thou universal Saviour!
Gentiles now their offerings bring,
In thy temple seek thy favour,
Jesu Christ, our Lord and King. Topics: The Christian Year Epiphany; The Conversion of St. Paul January 25th Languages: English Tune Title: REDHEAD NO. 46
