Our God and Father, we respond to Thee

Our God and Father

we respond to Thee

As sons brought near

Suited

in love and holy liberty

To this blest sphere.

O wondrous thought

that many there should be

Like Christ

for Thy delight eternally!

He

Thy delight

in whom we have our part

Through grace to share

Thy love for Him

the Object of Thy heart

Beyond compare.

His glory in Thy presence now we see

As with Him there in love’s complacency.

’Tis here He sings—what joy His heart doth find

Thyself to praise

While many sons are stirred in heart and mind

One voice to raise

In worship

God and Father

unto Thee

Supreme

Thou Source in love’s economy!
