On His Birthday, Hymn 44: At Meeting of Friends

O Father receive Our heartiest praise,
For bidding us live To witness Thy grace,
For bringing us hither Thy goodness to prove,
And triumph together In Jesus's love.

Our confident trust In Him we declare,
Through Jesus the Just Accepted we are;
Redeem'd by His passion, We joyfully join
To' ascribe our salvation To mercy Divine.

Thee, Lord, we adore, And dwell on Thy praise,
Preserved by the power Of Jesus' s grace;
Thee, Jesus, the Giver Of all we proclaim,
And publish for ever Thy wonderful name,

Thy name is release From sorrow, and sin,
Tis pardon, and peace, And goodness brought in:
It speaks us forgiven, Sinks into the soul,
And spreads the pure leaven, And hallows the whole.
