John 6:44: Father Thou hast our hearts indined
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Father Thou hast our hearts indined,
Or we had never sought Thy Son,
We still Thy powerful drawings find,
And cannot rest in grace begun;
Till Thou Thine own desires fulfil,
And Jesus in our hearts reveal.
To this, O God, Thou hast us wrought.
That now we might Thy Son confess;
Led by preventing grace and taught.
Add us to Jesu's witnesses;
Command the light of faith to shine.
And fear gives place to love Divine.
His Spirit send to seal us His,
As members of His body here.
Joint heirs of everlasting bliss.
That when He doth with clouds appear
We all may to His joy succeed,
And rise triumphant with our Head.
