By A Collection of Hymns

      L.M.
      1 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;

      2 Help us thy mercy to extol,
      Immense, unfathomed, unconfined;
      To praise the Lamb who died for all,
      The general Saviour of mankind.

      3 Thy undistinguishing regard
      Was cast on Adam's fallen race;
      For all thou hast in Christ prepared
      Sufficient, sovereign, saving grace.

      4 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.

      5 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.

      6 Arise, O God, maintain thy cause!
      The fulness of the Gentiles call;
      Lift up the standard of thy cross,
      And all shall own thou diedst for all.
