Son of God, Eternal Saviour
By Anonymous
SON of God, eternal Saviour, source of life and truth and grace,
Son of Man, whose birth incarnate hallows all our human race,
Thou, our Head, who, throned in glory, for Thine own dost ever plead,
Fill us with Thy love and pity; heal our wrongs, and help our need. Bind us all as one together in Thy church’s sacred fold,
Weak and healthy, poor and wealthy, sad and joyous, young and old.
Is there want, or pain, or sorrow? Make us all the burden share.
Are there spirits crushed and broken? Teach us, Lord, to soothe their care. As Thou, Lord, hast lived for others, so may we for others live.
Freely have Thy gifts been granted, freely may Thy servants give.
Thine the gold and Thine the silver, Thine the wealth of land and sea;
We but stewards of Thy bounty, held in solemn trust for Thee. — Anonymous.
