John 8:42: Children of God by faith we owe
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Children of God by faith we owe
Our hearts and Lips O Christ to Thee:
Thou didst proceed from God we know
His Son from all eternity,
Thou cam'st His heavenly Messenger,
And didst in mortal flesh appear.
Wherefore we thankfully believe,
Enter into Thy strange design.
To Thee Thy praise and glory give,
Thou great Philanthropist Divine:
With warmest gratitude approve.
And our almighty Lover love.
