Christ in Song

  1. 9Like as a FatherLike as a father pit - ies his child, So the Lord pit - ies those who fear him; Like as a mother com - forts her child, So the Lord a - lways with his children; Like as a father pit - ies his child, He doth compass us and know our frame; God, the Father, compassion ate to us, He remembers that we are but dust.

Hymns and Tunes 1886

  1. 460Pray for ReapersSaints of God, the dawn is brightening, Tokens of the coming Lord; Feeble now they toil in sadness, Weeping o'er the waste around, O'er the earth the fields are whitening, Louder rings the Master's word.
  2. 470Lift Him UpLift him up, 'tis he that bids you, Let the dying look and live; To all sin let him descend, Let the multitude behold him with weary thirsting sinners, Living waters will he give; And allegiance so meek and lowly, Yet the Prince of heaven was he; And the blind, who grope in darkness, Through the blood of Christ shall see.
