Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCXC (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Now may the God of peace and love Lyrics: 1 Now may the God of peace and love,
Who from the imprisoning grave,
Restor'd the shepherd of the sheep,
Omnipotent to save.
2 Thro' the rich merits of that blood,
Which he on Calvary spilt,
To make th' eternal cov'nant sure,
On which our hopes are built.
3 Perfect our souls in every grace,
T' accomplish all his will.
And all that's pleasing in his sight
Inspire us to fulfil!
4 For the great Mediator's sake,
We every blessing pray:
With glory let his name be crown'd,
Thro' heaven's eternal day! Topics: Worship Hymns After Sermon; Growth in grace desired; Holiness desired; Public Religion; Sanctification and growth desired Scripture: Hebrews 13:13 Languages: English
