508. Eternal Father, whose great love

1 Eternal Father, whose great love
Encircles us where'er we rove--
By peak or plain, by sea or shore,
By crowded street or lonely moor--
Enfold within Thy sleepless care
Those who this day their faith declare.

2 EEternal Saviour, whose rich grace
Did anguish, dark and drear, embrace,
Whose sweet compassions never fail,
Whose intercessions must prevail,
Uphold, we pray Thee, gracious Lord,
Those who this day obey Thy word.

3 Eternal Spirit, whose still voice
Hath prompted every gracious choice,
Who taught our souls to loathe their sin,
And at the cross new life begin
Preserve and lead for Jesus' sake
Those who this day the world forsake.
