Hymn 231 — Father, to Thy gracious throne
| 231 | C. C. ELLIOTT | 7.7.7.7. |
| 1 |
Father, to Thy gracious throne We draw nigh in all our need, In the Name of Him alone Who for us in heav'n doth plead. | |
| 2 |
May Thy holy Name be praised Now on earth as 'tis in heav'n; May Thy glory high be raised, Unto Thee be worship giv'n. | |
| 3 |
Here on earth beset by foes, Well beloved by Christ her Head, May the church in love's repose. Her appointed journey tread. | |
| 4 |
May the Christ dwell in our heart, Known in love past human ken: Joying in our heav'nly part, Counsel deep and vast for men. | |
| 5 |
May we here our strength renew, Mount with eagle's wings above, Run the race with Him in view, Faint not here, but walk in love. | |
