Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CXCV (1790) Lyrics: 1 Great Father of mankind, We bless that wondrous Grace Which could for Gentiles find, Within Thy courts a place: How kind the care our God displays, For us to raise a house of prayer. 2 Tho' once estranged far, We now approach the throne; For Jesus brings us near, And makes our cause his own: Strangers no more to thee we come, And find our home and rest secure. 3 To thee our souls we join, And love thy sacred name; No more our own but thine, We triumph in thy claim; Our Father King the covenant grace, Our souls embrace thy titles sing. 4 May all the nations throng, To worship in thy house; And thou attend the song, And smile upon their vows; Indulgent still, 'Till earth conspire, To join the choir On Zion's hill.
