1 A Father doth his Child beget, So we begotten are, By thy own Word and Spirit Lord, And do thine Image bear.
2 He likewise doth his Children clothe, And doth them also love; So thou most richly clothes all such That are born from above.
2 He likewise doth his Children cloath, And doth them also love; So thou most richly cloaths all such That are born from above.
3 A Father feeds and does protect Such who his Children be: So thou dost feed and save all those Who do belong to thee.
4 And also doth delight in them Who him resemble do: To such who are most like to thee, Thou dost chief favour show.
