Hymns on the Lord's Supper, 148

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Hymns on the Lord's Supper (1745) · Osborn ed., vol. 3 (1869)

Religion

Father of mercies, hear
Through Thine atoning Son,
Who doth for us in heaven appear,
And prays before Thy throne;
By that great sacrifice
Which He for us doth plead,
Into our Saviour's death baptize,
And make us like our Head.
Into the fellowship
Of Jesu's sufferings take
Us who desire with Him to sleep,
That we with Him may wake:
Plant us into His death,
That we His life may prove;
Partakers of His cross beneath,
And of His crown above.
