Father, Whose Everlasting Love

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;

Help us Thy mer­cy to ex­tol

Immense

un­fa­thomed

un­con­fined;

To praise the Lamb who died for all

The ge­ne­ral Sav­ior of man­kind.

Thy un­dis­ting­uish­ing re­gard

Was cast on Ad­am’s fall­en race;

For all Thou hast in Christ pre­pared

Sufficient

sov­er­eign

sav­ing grace.

The world He suf­fered to redeem;

For all He hath the atone­ment made;

For those that will not come to Him

The ran­som of His life was paid.

Why then

Thou uni­vers­al Love

Should any of Thy grace des­pair?

To all

to all

Thy bow­els move

But strait­ened in our own we are.

Arise

O God

main­tain Thy cause!

The full­ness of the Gen­tiles call;

Lift up the stand­ard of Thy cross

And all shall own Thou diedst for all.
