Son of God, in heaven
we view Thee
Of God's love the Object meet;
While, Lord Jesus Christ,
'tis through Thee
All our blessing is complete.
As Thy brethren
we surround Thee,
Firstborn of a heavenly race;
He who has with
glory crowned Thee
Called us to this blessed place.
From the triumph and the glory
Of Thy rest in love divine,
Comes to us the wondrous story,
How God's purpose made us Thine;
How by dying
Thou hast freed us
From the man of sin and shame,
That, unhindered,
Thou might'st lead us
Now to know Thy Father's name.
And responsive to Thy longing,
We would now abide in love;
Know Thy joy, as those belonging
To Thyself in heaven above.
