Principles and Practices - March 1

Our Need

We come to Thee, Sweet Saviour!
It is love that makes us come:
We are certain of our welcome,
Of our Father's welcome home.
O bountiful salvation!
O life eternal won!
O plentiful redemption!
O Blood of Mary's Son!

We come to Thee, Sweet Saviour!
Fear brings us in our need;
For Thy hand never breaketh,
Not the frailest bruised reed.
O bountiful salvation!
O life eternal won!
O plentiful redemption!
O Blood of Mary's Son!

-Faber.
