God the Fa­ther seek­ing,

Mortal, thou art bound
start
In the courts His deeds pro­claim;
Soon His voice shall ring,
My God, Thy gentleness hath conquered me,
My God, Thy gentleness hath conquered me,
Every heart pure in­cense bring­ing,
Who the stings of guilt can bear?
Send now the rivers through me.
Brought us, sin­ners, nigh to God.
Can again be­tide you.
Tenderly call­ing, call­ing, call­ing,
Quickly haste, and come where hap­py child­ren meet;
Wake the song of joy and glad­ness;
Of our Lord’s re­deem­ing love.
Takes the form of man be­low.
All the flow­ers that gild the spring
A ho­ly, hap­py band.

Hither

O’er the heart is steal­ing
To Beth­le­hem go your Lord of life to meet;
Tho’ no sculp­tured stone,
Ye heavy-la­den sin­ners, come;
Glorify our Sav­ior’s name.
Join thy conquering King.”
Break through my nature, mighty, heavenly love,
Break through my nature, mighty, heavenly love,
Father, round the al­tar bend­ing,
Balm that flows for ev­ery wound,
Here is abundant supply;
May re­pair, though filled with grief;
Who for sin, deep with­in,
Jesus is look­ing, Je­sus is call­ing,
Turn from thy plea­sures, turn from thy play;
Banish ev­ery thought of sad­ness,
Strike aloud each cheer­ful string;
View the In­fant late­ly born;
If Heav­en bless them, thank­ful, they
The Heav­en pro­tect­ed tribes as­cend,
