Father, again in Jesus' name we meet

Author: Lucy E. G. Whitmore Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 132 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father, again in Jesus' Name we meet, And bow in penitence beneath Thy feet: Again to Thee our feeble voices raise, To sue for mercy, and to sing Thy praise. 2 O we would bless Thee for Thy ceaseless care, And all Thy works from day to day declare: Is not our life with hourly mercies crowned? Does not Thine arm encircle us around? 3 Alas, unworthy of Thy boundless love, Too oft with careless feet from Thee we rove; But now, encouraged by Thy voice, we come, Returning sinners to a Father's home. 4 O by that Name in whom all fullness dwells, O by that love which every love excels, O by that blood so freely shed for sin, Open blest mercy's gate, and take us in! Amen. Topics: Times of Worship Opening; Lent; Opening of Service; Penitence and Confession; Worship Opening Used With Tune: LONGWOOD
