Hymn CXCV. Common Metre. Obedience to God our Father

O GOD, my Father, I adore That all-commanding name; It will my soul to life restore, And kindle all my flame.

Entire, I bow at thy commands, My filial homage pay; With heart and life, with tongue and hands, I'll cheerfully obey.

I'll willfully no more transgress As I too oft have done; But ev'ry sinful tho't suppress, Each sinful action shun.

Each day I live, I'll seek with care, My Father, well to please, And in this course will persevere By thine assisting grace.

Thus will I my relation claim, And call myself thy son, And whilst I bear the glorious name, My father's rights will own.

I will; but thou must strength impart This promise to fulfil; Lord, write thy law upon my heart That I may do thy will.
