Character of the Children of God

Hymnal: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, in Three Books #I.CXLIII (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: As new-born babes desire the breast Lyrics: 1 As new-born babes desire the breast To feed, and grow, and thrive; So saints with joy the gospel taste, And by the gospel live. 2 [With inward gust their heart approves All that the word relates; They love the men the Father loves, And hate the works he hates.] 3 [Not all the flatt'ring baits on earth Can make them slaves to lust; They cant forget their heav'nly birth, Nor grovel in the dust.] 4 [Not all the chains that tyrants use Shall bind their souls to vice; Faith like a conq'ror, can produce A thousand victories.] 5 [Grace, like an uncorrupted seed, Abides and reigns within; Immortal principles forbid The sons of God to sin.] 6 [Not by the terrors of a slave Do they perform his will. But with the noblest pow'rs they have, His sweet commands fulfil.] 7 They find access at ev'ry hour To God within the vail: Hence they derive a quick'ning pow'r, And joys that never fail. 8 O happy souls! O glorious state Of overflowing grace; To dwell so near their Father's seat, And see his lovely face. 9 Lord, I address'd thy heav'nly throne; Call me a child of thine; Send down the Spirit of thy Son To form my heart divine. 10 There shed thy choicest loves abroad, And make my comforts strong; Then shall I say, “My Father God,” With an unwav'ring tongue.
