Dost ask who that may be ?
3 Father-like He tends and spares us, Christ Jesus, it is He !
Well our feeble frame He knows Lord Sabaoth is His name,
In His hands He gently bears us, From age to age the same
Rescues us from all our foes And He must win the battle.
Praise Him praise Him
Widely as His!mercy flows. ! 3 And though this world, with devils
filled,
Should threaten to undo us:
4 Angels, help us to adore Him, We will not fear; for God hath willed
Ye behold Him face to face ! His truth to triumph through us.
Sun and moon, bow down before Let goods and kindred go,
Him
! This mortal life also
Dwellers all in time and space, The body they may kill
Praise Him ! praise Him ! God's truth abideth still,
Praise with us the God ofgrace ! His Kingdom is for ever.
