107. Father, whose everlasting love

1 Father, whose everlasting love
thy only Son for sinners gave,
whose grace to all did freely move,
and sent him down the world to save;

2 Help us thy mercy to extol,
immense, unfathomed, unconfined;
to praise the Lamb who died for all,
the general Saviour of mankind.

3 Thy undistinguishing regard
was cast on Adam’s fallen race;
for all thou hast in Christ prepared
sufficient, sovereign, saving grace.

4 The world he suffered to redeem;
for all he hath th'atonement made;
for those that will not come to him
the ransom of his life was paid.

5 Arise, O God, maintain thy cause,
the fullness of the nations call;
lift up the standard of thy cross
and all shall own thou diedst for all.
