Author: Lady L. E. G. Whitmore, 1792-1840 Appears in 132 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father, again in Jesus' name we meet,
And bow in penitence beneath Thy feet;
Again to Thee our contrite 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 fulness 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. Topics: Brevity of Life; The Christian Life Fellowship; Penitence; Mercies of God; Life Brevity; Mercy Of God Used With Tune: PENITENTIA
