Hail, Thou Source of Every Blessing

Basil Woodd, c. 1810-1820: verse 5, l. 1, alt.·Post-Reformation

Verse 1

Hail, Thou Source of every blessing,
Sovereign Father of mankind!
Gentiles now, Thy grace possessing,
In Thy courts admission find.

Verse 2

Grateful now we fall before Thee,
In Thy Church obtain a place;
Now by faith behold Thy glory,
Praise Thy truth, adore Thy grace.

Verse 3

Once far off, but now invited,
We approach Thy sacred throne;
In Thy covenant united,
Reconciled, redeemed, made one.

Verse 4

Now revealed to Eastern sages,
See the star of mercy shine:
Mystery hid in former ages,
Mystery great of love Divine.

Verse 5

Hail, Thou manifested Saviour!
Gentiles now their offerings bring;
In Thy temple seek Thy favor,
Jesus Christ, our Lord and King.

Verse 6

May we, body, soul, and spirit,
Live devoted to Thy praise,
Glorious realms of bliss inherit,
Grateful anthems ever raise.
