Respecting Jesus in our prayer

Verse 1
Respecting Jesus in our prayer,
For this, O God, we call on thee;
Thy name throughout the earth declare,
That all may thy salvation see,
May all, like us, thy goodness prove,
And feel the fear which flows from love.

Verse 2
Our prayer, presented thro’ thy Son,
Answer on all the ransom’d kind,
Collect thy scatter’d sheep in one,
To Jesus, and thy people join’d,
Let every soul thy nature know,
And see the King of saints below.
