FATHER, what depths of sovereign grace
To give Thy saints the nearest place,
Since they behold the Savior blest
Who made the Father manifest!
Since death the Savior knew for sin,
And God is glorified therein,
Blessings untold can countless flow;
Forever judged is sin below.
Father, Thy love has made us one -
One in Thyself and in the Son:
Proof to the world that Thou didst send
Him Who accomplished such an end.
And glory will to all make known,
When we are perfected in one,
That Thou didst love us as Thy Son,
Sharing with Him the victory won.
