CI. Our heavenly Father calls

1 Our heavenly Father calls,
And Christ invites us near;
With both our friendship shall be sweet,
And our communion dear.

2 God pities all our griefs;
He pardons every day;
Almighty to protect our souls
And wise to guide our way.

3 How large his bounties are!
What various stores of good
Diffus'd from our Redeemer's hand,
And purchas'd with his blood?

4 Jesus, our living head,
We bless thy faithful care;
Our advocate before the throne,
And our forerunner there.

5 Here fix, my roving heart!
Here wait, my warmest love!
'Till the communion be complete
In nobler scenes above.
