Son of Thy Sire’s Eternal Love

lyricist: Charles Wesley, 1742
Composer: Anonymous, 1894

Son of Thy Sire’s eter­nal love

Take to Thy­self Thy migh­ty pow­er

Let all earth’s sons Thy mer­cy prove

Let all Thy bound­less grace ad­ore;

The tri­umphs of Thy love dis­play

In ev­ery heart reign Thou alone

Till all Thy foes con­fess Thy sway

And glo­ry ends what grace be­gun.

Spirit of grace

and health and pow­er

Fountain of light and love be­low

Abroad Thy heal­ing in­flu­ence show­er

O’er all the na­tions let it flow;

Inflame our hearts with per­fect love

In us the work of faith ful­fill;

So not Heav­en’s host shall swift­er move

Than we on earth to do Thy will.

Father

’tis Thine each day to yield

Thy child­ren’s wants a fresh sup­ply

Thou cloth’st the lil­ies of the field

And hear­est the young ra­vens cry:

On Thee we cast our care; we live

Through Thee

who know’st our ev­ery need;

O feed us with Thy grace

and give

Our souls this day the liv­ing bread!
