Hymn 87 — Father, Thy sovereign love has sought
| 87 | J. N. DARBY (1800-1882) | L.M. |
| 1 |
Father, Thy sovereign love has sought Captives to sin, gone far from Thee; The work that Thine own Son hath wrought Has brought us back in peace and free. | |
| 2 |
And now, as sons before Thy face, With joyful steps the path we tread, Which leads us on to that blest place Prepared for us by Christ our Head. | |
| 3 |
O keep us, Love divine, near Thee, That we our nothingness may know, And ever to Thy glory be Walking in faith while here below. | |
