O God of grace, our Father,
We bless Thy holy name,
We who enjoy Thy favor,
Made holy, without blame;
In love, which sought and found us,
And brought us nigh to Thee,
And won the rest of glory,
Our heavenly home shall be.
Thy deep, eternal counsel
Chose us in Christ the Son,
Before the earth's foundation,
Or sin had yet begun;
That we might all the nearness
Of the Belovèd know,
And brought to Thee as children
Our children's praises flow.
We worship Thee, our Father,
Soon shall Thy children be
At home in heavenly glory,
Thy house their home shall be;
We worship Thee, our Father,
And praise Thy perfect love,
Soon shall we chant Thy glory
In better strains above.
