EN 3063 Father, Who Hast Gathered

Matt.18.2

Versi Version 1

1

Father, who hast gathered

This dear child to rest,

Unto Thee we yield him,

Sure Thou knowest best.

2

Thou, O Lord, who gavest,

Dost Thine own reclaim;

Thou, O Lord, hast taken—

Blessed still Thy Name!

3

Thine by right creative,

By redemption Thine,

By regeneration

And the holy sign.

4

Thou Who didst endow him

With baptismal grace,

Now in love hast brought him

To behold Thy face.

5

Safe from all earth’s sorrow,

Safe from all its pains,

Now this child of Adam,

Paradise regains:

6

Safe from all temptation,

Safe from fear of sin,

Through the blood of sprinkling

Holy, bright and clean.

7

Lay we this dear body

In the earth to sleep,

His sweet soul commending

Unto Thee to keep:

8

Looking for the dawning

Of that deathless day,

When all earthly shadows

Shall have fled away.

9

Only grant us, Father,

Courage in our strife,

And with him a portion

In unending life.
