Obedience and Death of Christ

Hymnal: SPHP1790 #XXXVI (1790) First Line: Father, I sing thy wond'rous grace Lyrics: 1 Father, I sing thy wond'rous grace, I bless my Saviour's name. He bought salvation for the poor, And bore the sinners shame. 2 His deep distress has rais'd us high; His duty and his zeal. Fulfill'd the law which mortals broke, And finish'd all thy will. 3 His dying groans, his living songs, Shall better please my God, Than harp or trumpet's solemn sound, Than goats or bullocks blood. 4 This shall his humble foll'wers see, And set their hearts at rest; They by his death draw near to thee, And live for ever blest. 4 Let heav'n, and all that dwell on high, To God their voices raise, While lands and seas assist the sky, And join'd t' advance the praise.

That powerful stamp I long to feel, The signature of love divine; O shed it in my heart abroad, Fulness of love, of Heav'n of God! Languages: English

Author: Beddome Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CCIV (1790) First Line: Father of mercies, bow thine ear Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies, bow thine ear Attentive to our earnest prayer; We plead for those who plead for thee, Successful pleaders may they be! 2 How great their work, how vast their charge. Do thou their anxious souls enlarge, Their best acquirements are our gain, We share the blessings they obtain. 3 Clothe them with Energy divine, Their words, and let their words be thine To them thy sacred truth reveal, Suppress their fear, inflame their zeal. 4 Teach them to sow the precious seed, Teach them thy chosen flock to feed; Teach them immortal souls to gain, Souls which will well reward their pain. 5 Let thronging multitudes around, Hear from their lips the joyful sound; In humble strains thy grace implore, And feel thy new-creating power. 6 Let sinners break their massy chains, Distressed souls forget their pains; Let light thro' distant realms be spread, And Zion rear her drooping head.
