Verse 1
Father, to Thee our joint request
With meek submission we make known
Soon as thy will is manifest
Still ready to give up our own:
Our Friend, who on the altar lies
If now thy sovereign mercy claim,
We offer up the sacrifice,
Adore thy love, and bless thy name.

Verse 2
But if, before the fixt decree
Bring forth, we may his life desire,
If yet Thou mayst intreated be;
The prayer thy Spirit doth inspire,
The prayer presented thro’ thy Son
Our powerful Advocate, receive,
And send a peaceful Answer down,
And bid the dying Victim live.

Verse 3
Were the last fatal moment come,
And death had seiz’d its willing prey
Father, thou canst his instant doom
Reverse, and lengthen out his day:
All things are possible to Thee
To us who trust in Jesus word,
And suppliant in his Name agree
And ask—Our Friend to life restor’d!
