By A Collection of Hymns

      2-6s & 4-7s. Luke xv 20 - 24.
      1 THEE, O my God and King,
      My Father, thee I sing!
      Hear, well-pleased, the joyous sound,
      Praise from earth and heaven receive;
      Lost, I now in Christ am found,
      Dead, by faith in Christ I live.

      2 Father, behold thy son,
      In Christ I am thy own;
      Stranger long to thee, and rest,
      See the prodigal is come:
      Open wide thine arms and breast,
      Take the weary wanderer home.

      3 Thine eye observed from far,
      Thy pity looked me near;
      Me thy bowels yearned to see,
      Me thy mercy ran to find,
      Empty, poor, and void of thee,
      Hungry, sick, and faint, and blind.

      4 Thou on my neck didst fall,
      Thy kiss forgave me all:
      Still thy gracious words I hear,
      Words that made the Saviour mine,
      "Haste, for him the robe prepare,
      His be righteousness divine!"
