Religion
Acts 17:25: Father, Thine offspring own
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
Father, Thine offspring own
Regenerate in Thy Son:
Doubly Thine in Christ we live,
Thine adopted children now;
Heathens would in vain conceive,
Reason fails to tell them how.
Through faith in the God-Man
A being new we gain;
Strong in hope wre higher rise,
Swiftly move Thy face to see;
Live the life that never dies,
Find our heaven — in loving Thee.
