Lyics

BEHOLD, what wondrous grace

The Father hath bestowed

On sinners of a mortal race,

To call them sons of God!



Nor doth it yet appear

How great we must be made;

But when we see our Saviour here,

We shall be like our Head.



If in my Father's love

I share a filial part,

His Holy Spirit, like a dove,

Will rest within my heart!



We would no longer lie

Like slaves beneath the throne;

Our faith shall Abba, Father! cry,

And thou the kindred own.
