338. Since Thou, the Everlasting God

C.M.
by P. Doddridge
1
Since Thou, the everlasting God,
 
Our Father art become;
 
Jesus, our Guardian and our Friend,
 
And heaven our final home:
“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy.” (Jude 24)
“Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.” (John 15:14)
“In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” (John 14:2-3)
2
We welcome all Thy sovereign will,
 
For all that will is love;
 
And when we know not what Thou dost,
 
We wait the light above.
“Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.” (John 13:7)
3
Thy gracious love, in all our need,
 
Shall heavenly light impart;
 
And be our theme of endless praise
 
When all things else depart.
