God and Father, we adore Thee
For the Christ, Thine image bright,
In whom all Thy holy nature
Dawned on our once
hopeless night.
Thou didst send Him
as the witness
Of a life beyond compare;
By Thy Spirit we received Him;
Now in Christ how blest we are!
Fellowship with Thee,
the Father,
And with Jesus Christ Thy Son—
Such Thine own
most gracious giving
By Thy Spirit to each one.
For in Christ was life eternal
Once beheld and heard below;
And in Him dwelt all the fulness,
Though in grace
He stooped so low.
Now in Him,
our God and Father,
Sharers of Thy love are we;
Now partaking with our Saviour
His unceasing rest in Thee.
Grace divine
is this, transcending
All that else the heart employs:
'Tis the Son and Father deigning
Us to give of Their own joys.
