1
Son of God! with joy we praise Thee,
 
On the Father’s throne above;
 
All Thy wondrous work displays Thee,
 
Full of grace and full of love!
 
Lord, accept our adoration — 
 
For our sins Thou once wast slain;
 
Through Thy blood we have salvation;
 
Soon shall share Thine endless reign.
“He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.” (1 John 5:10-13)
“Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.” (Hebrews 1:3)
2
God, in Thee His love unfolding,
 
Shows how vast, how rich His grace;
 
Blest our lot, with joy beholding
 
All His glory in Thy face.
 
Oh! the mercy which hath blessed us,
 
Purposed thus ere time began,
 
Mercy which in Thee hath kept us,
 
Where His blessed race He ran.
“According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.” (Ephesians 1:4)
