131. Praise We to the Father Give

7s.
by J. Montgomery
1
Praise we to the Father give,
 
God in whom we move and live;
 
Children’s praise He loves to hear,
 
Children’s songs delight His ear.
2
Praise we to the Firstborn bring,
 
Christ the Prophet, Priest and King;
 
Glad we raise our sweetest strain
 
To the Lamb that once was slain!
3
Praises for the Holy Ghost
 
Sent from heaven at Pentecost!
 
’Tis through Him alone we live,
 
And the precious truth receive.
4
Blest our portion thus to be
 
Glorying in the Trinity;
 
For the gospel from above,
 
For the word that "God is love."
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. <<The second epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi, a city of Macedonia, by Titus and Lucas.>>.” (2 Corinthians 13:14)
“But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.” (Galatians 1:11-12)
“He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” (1 John 4:8)
“And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.” (1 John 4:16)
