Blest Father, infinite in grace,
Source of eternal joy,
Thou lead'st our hearts
to that blest place,
Where rest's without alloy.
There will Thy love
find perfect rest,
Where all around is bliss,
Where all in Thee
supremely blest,
Thy praise their service is.
Eternal love their portion is,
Where love has found its rest;
And, filled with Thee,
the constant mind
Eternally is blest.
There Christ the centre
of the throng
Shall in His glory shine,
But not an eye
those hosts among
But sees His glory Thine.
Thy counsels too
in all Thine own,
Fulfilled by power divine,
Spread wide the glory
of Thy throne,
Where all in glory shine.
Yet deeper, if a calmer, joy
The Father's love shall raise,
And every heart
find sweet employ
In His eternal praise.
Nor is its sweetness
now unknown,
Well proved in what it's done;
Our Father's love
with joy we own,
Revealed in Christ the Son.
