Lyics

Our heavenly father calls,

And Christ invites us near;

With both our friendship shall be sweet,

And our communion dear.



God pities all our griefs;

He pardons every day;

Almighty to protect our souls,

And wise to guide our way.



Jesus, our living head,

We bless thy faithful care;

Our advocate before the throne,

And our forerunner there.



Here fix, my roving heart!

Here wait, my warmest love!

'Till the communion be complete

In nobler scenes above.
