Acts 22:14: The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
God, my father's gracious God,
If Thou hast made choice of me,
Meant to spread Thy name abroad
Through my prosperous ministry;
Thy whole mind in me reveal,
Life, eternal life impart,
Give the gift unspeakable,
Christ discover to my heart.
O Thou just and holy One
Sighs my broken heart for Thee,
Thee the everlasting Son
Grant me eyes of faith to see;
In Thy bleeding form confess'd
All my unbelief remove,
Speak into this troubled breast
Faith and peace and purest love.
