154. Our Father, We Would Worship
7,6.
Our Father, we would worship
For He, whate’er our changes,
Through Him our childlike praises
As incense sweet will be;
The songs Thy Spirit raises
“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.” (John 4:23)
“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:20)
“By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.” (Hebrews 13:15)
“Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.” (Hebrews 2:12)
The fire Thy love hath kindled
The Spirit keeps it burning
(Though dimmed by things without):
Oh make it burn more brightly!
By faith more freely shine;
That we may value rightly
The grace that made us Thine.
“<<A Psalm of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed.>> I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.” (Psalm 34:1)
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” (Ephesians 2:8)
