LyicsBEHOLD what wondrous grace
The Father hath bestow'd
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,
O may Thy Spirit, like a dove,
Rest ever in my heart!
We would no longer lie
Like slaves beneath the throne;
Our faith shall Abba, Father! cry,
And Thou the kindred own.
