Blest Be the Father and His Love

lyricist: Isaac Watts, 1709
Composer: William Smallwood (1831–1897)

Blest be the Fa­ther and His love

To whose ce­les­ti­al source we owe

Rivers of end­less joy above

And rills of com­fort here be­low.

Glory to Thee

great Son of God

From whose dear wound­ed bo­dy rolls

A pre­cious stream of vi­tal blood

Pardon and life for dy­ing souls.

We give the sac­red Spir­it praise

Who in our hearts of sin and woe

Makes liv­ing springs of grace arise

And in­to bound­less glo­ry flow.

Thus God the Fa­ther

God the Son

And God the Spir­it

we ad­ore;

That sea of life and love un­known

Without a bot­tom or a shore.
