By Thee, O God, invited, We look unto the Son, In whom Thy soul delighted, Who all Thy will hath done; And by the one chief treasure Thy bosom freely gave, Thine own pure love we measure, Thy willing mind to save. O God of mercy - Father; The one unchanging claim, The brightest hopes we gather From Christ's most precious name; What always sounds so sweetly In Thine unwearied ear, Has freed our souls completely From all our sinful fear. The trembling sinner feareth That God can ne'er forget, But one full payment cleareth His memory of all debt. When naught beside could free us, Or set our souls at large, Thy holy work, Lord Jesus, Secured a full discharge. No wrath God's heart retaineth To us-ward who believe; No dread in ours remaineth As we His love receive; Returning sons He kisses, And with His robe invests; His perfect love dismisses All terror from our breasts.
