Hymn/Song Information

Father if I may call thee so Regard my fearful




Father, if I may call thee so,
Regard my fearful heart's desire:
Remove this load of guilty woe,
Nor let me in my sins expire!


I tremble lest the wrath divine,
"Which bruises now my wretched soul,
Should bruise this wretched soul of mine
Long as eternal ages roll.


To thee my last distress I bring;
The heightened fear of death I find:
The tyrant, brandishing his sting,
Appears, and hell is close behind.


I deprecate that death alone,
That endless banishment from thee:
O save, and give me to thy Son,
Who trembled, wept, and bled for me?


---Alternative verses---


Father, if I may call thee so,
  I tremble with my one desire: 
Lift up this heavy load of woe, 
Nor let me in my sins expire! 


I tremble lest the wrath divine, 
"Which bruises now my sinful soul, 
Should bruise and break soul of mine 
Long as eternal ages roll. 


Thy wrath I fear, thy wrath alone, 
That endless exile, Lord, from thee: 
O save! O give me to thy Son, 
Who trembled, wept, and bled for me?
