7*. Blest Be the God and Father
7,6.
by G.W. Frazer
Blest be the God and Father
Who chose us for all blessing
That we redeemed — His children —
Might dwell with Him above,
And know the depth and fullness
Where all those deep affections,
Which fill the Father’s heart,
Shall find their satisfaction,
Where we, His throne surrounding,
Within those many mansions
E’en whilst we here are waiting,
His rest on high to share,
We know our blest relation
As children to Him there,
And by His Spirit’s leading,
With ever-growing longing
We seek our home on high.
