Nehemiah 2:3: Father, the ancient greeting hear

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

Father, the ancient greeting hear,
By faith converted to a prayer,
AVash'd in Thy Son's atoning blood,
Ordain'd to share the throne of God,
Among Thy royal priests receive,
And let our king for ever live.
