338. Since Thou, the Everlasting God

C.M.
by P. Doddridge
1
Since Thou, the everlasting God,
 
Our Father art become;
 
Jesus, our Guardian and our Friend,
 
And heaven our final home:
“In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” (John 14:2-3)
2
We welcome all Thy sovereign will,
 
For all that will is love;
 
And when we know not what Thou dost,
 
We wait the light above.
“Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.” (John 13:7)
3
Thy gracious love, in all our need,
 
Shall heavenly light impart;
 
And be our theme of endless praise
 
When all things else depart.
