FATHER, 'TWAS THY LOVE THAT KNEW US
1. Father, 'twas
Thy love that knew us,
Earth's foundation
long before;
That same love to
Jesus drew us,
By its sweet
constraining pow'r,
And will keep us,
and will keep us,
safely now, and
evermore.
Safely now and evermore.
2. Now that
changeless love enfolds us,
All its wealth on
us bestows,
While its pow'r
unchanging holds us
In a holy calm
repose.
God and Father, God
and Father
Unto Thee our
worship flows,
Unto Thee our
worship flows.
3. 'Tis the
Father's tender mercy
That doth cause me
to rejoice;
And myself am given
wholly
As a son thro'
God's own Choice.
God so loves us!
God so loves us!
That He gave us His
dear Son!
That He gave us His
dear Son!
4. God of love, our
souls adore Thee!
We would still Thy
grace proclaim,
Till we cast our
crowns before Thee,
And in glory praise
Thy name;
Praise and worship,
Praise and worship,
Be to God and to
the Lamb!
Be to God and to
the Lamb!
