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