Father of mankind, Be ever adored

Verse 1
Father of mankind,
Be ever ador’d:
Thy mercy we find,
In sending our Lord
To ransom and bless us:
Thy goodness we praise,
For sending in Jesus
Salvation by grace.

Verse 2
O Son of his love,
Who deignedst to die,
Our curse to remove,
Our pardon to buy;
Accept our thanksgiving,
Almighty to save,
Who openest heaven,
To all that believe.

Verse 3
O Spirit of love,
Of health, and of power,
Thy working we prove,
Thy grace we adore;
Whose inward revealing
Applies our Lord’s blood,
Attesting, and sealing
Us children of God.
