Father, whose everlasting love

Hymn Text
Verse 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.
Verse 2
Help us Thy mercy to extol,
Immense, unfathomed, unconfined:
To praise the Lamb who died for all,
The general saviour of mankind.
Verse 3
Thy undistinguishing regard
Was cast on Adam's fallen race,
For all Thou hast in Christ prepared
Sufficient, sovereign, saving grace.
Verse 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.
Verse 5
Arise, O God, maintain Thy cause!
The fullness of the Gentiles call:
Lift up the standard of thy cross
And all shall know Thou died for all.
