Praising God in all Changes. |
613. C. M. Heginbotham. Praising God in all Changes. 1 Father of mercies, God of love, My Father and my God! I'll sing the honors of thy name; And spread thy praise abroad. 2 In every period of my life, Thy thoughts of love appear; Thy mercies gild each transient scene, And crown each lengthening year. 3 In all these mercies may my soul A father's bounty see: Nor let the gifts thy grace bestows Estrange my heart from thee. 4 Then will I close my eyes in death, Free from distressing fear; For death itself is life, my God, If thou art with me there.
