BLESSED, gracious God and Father,
Ever be Thy Name ador’d,
In Thy Son, Thy Well-Beloved,
Christ, the Saviour, Jesus, Lord!
We, in Him Thyself beholding,
Sing Thy praise with glad accord.
Abr’ham knew Thee as Th’ Almighty;
Moses spake of The I AM;
Israel bowed before JEHOVAH,
Shedding blood of bull and lamb;
JESUS, dwelling in Thy bosom,
Hath declar’d The FATHER’S Name.
Lord, Thy greatness, pow’r and Godhead
From the first were unconceal’d;
But till Jesus came from heaven,
Was the Name of Father seal’d;
He, ris’n now, the Spirit given,
In His Face art Thou reveal’d.
God and Father, we adore Thee,
Thee we praise with heart and voice;
Low we bow our souls before Thee,
Who in Christ are Thine own choice;
And in Thee, HIS God, and Father,
As we worship, we rejoice.
T.
