HAIL, Father, whose creating call
By A Collection of Hymns

      C.M. Hymn to God the Father.
      1 HAIL, Father, whose creating call
      Unnumbered worlds attend;
      Jehovah, comprehending all,
      Whom none can comprehend!

      2 In light unsearchable enthroned,
      Whom angels dimly see,
      The fountain of the Godhead owned,
      And foremost of the Three.

      3 From thee, through an eternal now,
      The Son, thine offspring, flowed;
      An everlasting Father thou,
      An everlasting God.

      4 Nor quite displayed to worlds above,
      Nor quite on earth concealed;
      By wondrous, unexhausted love,
      To mortal man revealed.

      5 Supreme and all-sufficient God,
      When nature shall expire,
      And worlds created by thy nod
      Shall perish by thy fire.

      6 Thy name, Jehovah, be adored
      By creatures without end,
      Whom none but thy essential Word
      And Spirit comprehend.
