Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: Laudes Domini #50 (1890) First Line: Our heavenly Father calls Lyrics: 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,
Diffused from our Redeemer's hand,
And purchased 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. Topics: Prayer and Invocation; Christ Advocate; Close of Worship; God Pity; Opening of Service; Prayer; Christ Advocate; Close of Worship; God Pity; Opening of Service; Prayer Languages: English Tune Title: SHIRLAND
