Our heavenly Father calls
1
Our heavenly Father calls,And Christ invites us near;With both, our friendship shall be sweet,And our communion dear.
2
God pities all our griefs;He pardons every day;Almighty to protect our souls,And wise to guide our way.
3
How large his bounties are!What various stores of good,Diffused from our Redeemer's hand,And purchased with his blood!
4
Jesus, our living Head,We bless thy faithful care;Our Advocate before the throne,And our Forerunner there.
5
Here fix, my roving heart!Here wait, my warmest love!Till the communion be complete,In nobler scenes above.
