THE great redeeming, Angel, thee, O Jesus, I confess; Who hast through life delivered me, Thou wilt my offspring bless; Thou that hast borne my sins away, My children's sins remove, And bring them through their evil day, To sing thy praise above.

My name be on the children? no! But mark them, Lord, with thine, Let all the heavenly offspring know By characters divine; Partakers of thy nature make, Partakers of thy Son, And then the heirs of glory take To thine eternal throne.
