Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #CXXIII (1789) Lyrics: 1 O God, our Father, and our King;
Of all we have, or hope, the spring;
Send down thy spirit from above,
And warm our hearts with holy love.
2 May se from every act abstain,
That hurts or gives our neighbour pain;
And ev'ry secret wish suppress,
That would abridge his happiness.
3 Still may we feel our hearts inclin'd
To act the friend to all our kind;
Still seek their safety, health and ease,
Virtue, eternal life, and peace.
4 With pity let our breast o'erflow,
When we behold a wretch in wo;
And bear a sympathizing part
With all who are of heavy heart.
5 Let love in all our conduct shine,
An image fair, tho' faint of thine:
Thus may we Christ's disciples prove,
Who came to manifest thy love. Topics: Faith, Holiness and moral Virtues Brotherly Love Languages: English
