Hymn 382

 

 Emily F. Seal

 

 What is thy birthright, man,

   Child of the perfect One;

 What is thy Father's plan

   For His beloved son?

 

 Thou art Truth's honest child,

   Of pure and sinless heart;

 Thou treadest undefiled

   In Christly paths apart.

 

 Vain dreams shall disappear

   As Truth dawns on the sight;

 The phantoms of thy fear

   Shall flee before the light.

 

 Take then the sacred rod;

   Thou art not error's thrall;

 Thou hast the gift of God--

   Dominion over all.

 

What Is Thy Birthright Man
