2-6s & 4-7s. 1 O FILIAL Deity, Accept my new-born cry! See the travail of thy soul, Saviour, and be satisfied; Take me now, possess me whole, Who for me, for me, hast died!
2 Of life thou art the tree, My immortality! Feed this tender branch of thine, Ceaseless influence derive; Thou the true, the heavenly Vine; Grafted into thee I live.
3 Of life the fountain thou, I know - I feel it now! Faint and dead no more I droop; Thou art in me; thy supplies, Every moment springing up, Into life eternal rise.
4 Thou the good Shepherd art, From thee I ne'er shall part; Thou my keeper and my guide, Make me still thy tender care; Gently lead me by thy side, Sweetly in thy bosom bear.
5 Thou art my daily Bread; O Christ, thou art my Head! Motion, virtue, strength, to me, Me thy living member, flow; Nourished I, and fed by thee, Up to thee in all things grow.
6 Prophet, to me reveal Thy Father's perfect will; Never mortal spake like thee, Human prophet like divine; Loud and strong their voices be, Small, and still, and inward thine.
7 On thee, my Priest, I call, Thy blood atoned for all; Still the Lamb as slain appears, Still thou stand'st before the throne, Ever offering up my prayers, These presenting with thine own.
8 Jesu, thou art my King, From thee my strength I bring; Shadowed by thy mighty hand, Saviour, who shall pluck me thence? Faith supports; by faith I stand, Strong in thy omnipotence.
