Our God and Father,
we draw near to Thee
In all the worth
of Thy beloved Son;
All Thou hast e'er desired
from man we see
In Him, Thy Christ,
Thine own anointed One.
No thought of His
e'er moved apart from Thine;
Each holy footstep
gave Thee fresh delight;
Perfect expression
of Thy will divine
Thou hadst in Him ---
come forth from glory bright.
Thou ever lovedst Him ---
ere time began
He was beside Thee,
object of Thy heart;
One with Thyself
in Thine eternal plan,
In Godhead glory
one in all Thou art.
And now Thou lov'st Him,
for Himself He gave ---
Theme of our song
when time shall cease to be;
Laid down His life that Thou,
O God, shouldst have
Fruit of Thy love in sons
who worship Thee.
