By A Collection of Hymns

      7s & 6s.
      1 FATHER, Saviour of mankind,
      Who hast on me bestowed
      An immortal soul, designed
      To be the house of God;
      Come, and now reside in me,
      Never, never to remove;
      Make me just and good, like thee,
      And full of power and love.

      2 Bid me in thy image rise,
      A saint, a creature new,
      True, and merciful, and wise,
      And pure, and happy too.
      This thy primitive design,
      That I should in thee be blest,
      Should within the arms divine
      For ever, ever rest.

      3 Let thy will on me be done;
      Fulfil my heart's desire,
      Thee to know and love alone,
      And rise in raptures higher;
      Thee, descending on a cloud,
      When with ravished eyes I see,
      Then I shall be filled with God
      To all eternity!
