Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of eternal love,
Our Father and our friend,
We lift our hearts to Thee above:
Do Thou our prayer attend.
2 Baptized into Thy name,
We all have Christ put on:
O may Thy love our hearts inflame,
The course of truth to run.
3 May earthly feelings die,
And fruits of faith increase;
And Adam's nature prostrate lie
Before the Prince of Peace.
4 Endue us, Lord, with strength,
To triumph over sin:
That we may with Thy saints at length
Eternal glory win.
