32. Son of God! With Joy We Praise Thee

8,7.
by S.P. Tregelles
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.
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.
“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us. Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” (Ephesians 2:4-6)
“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)
