Eternal Son, Eternal Love

Eternal Son

eter­nal Love

Take to Thy­self Thy migh­ty pow­er;

Let all earth’s sons Thy mer­cy prove;

Let all Thy sav­ing grace adore.

The tri­umphs of Thy love dis­play;

In ev­ery heart reign Thou alone;

Till all Thy foes con­fess Thy sway

And glo­ry ends what grace be­gan.

Spirit of grace with health and pow­er

Fountain of light and love be­low

Abroad Thy heal­ing in­flu­ence show­er

O’er all the na­tions let it flow.

Inflame our hearts with per­fect love;

In us the work of faith ful­fill

So not Heav’n’s host shall swift­er move

Than we on earth

to do Thy will.
