Hymn 37

Like as a Father

1

Like as a father pities his child, So the Lord pities the sinner defiled; Waiteth in kindness, Pities our blindness, Longeth to welcome, though often reviled.

2

Like as a father, when we believe, Merciful still, He will gladly receive; Listens to hear us, Blesses to cheer us, Pities whenever His Spirit we grieve.

3

Like as a father, ever the same, He that created, and knoweth our frame; Watcheth the straying, Guardeth the praying, Father in heaven for ever to be.

4

Like as a father, constant is He, God in compassion regardeth our plea; In need He cometh, Precious His promise: Father in heaven for ever to be.
