FATHER, THY NAME OUR SOULS WOULD BLESS

 

1. Father, Thy name our souls would bless,

As children taught by grace,

Lift up our hearts in righteousness

And joy before Thy face.

 

2. Sweet is the confidence Thou giv'st,

Though high above our praise,

Our hearts resort to where Thou liv'st

In heaven's unclouded rays.

 

3. There in the purpose of Thy love,

Our place is now prepared,

As sons with Him who is above,

Who all our sorrows shared.

 

4. Eternal ages shall declare

The riches of Thy grace,

To those who with Thy Son shall share

A son's eternal place.

 

5. Absent, as yet, we rest in hope,

Treading the desert-path,

Waiting for Him who takes us up

Beyond the pow'r of death.

 

6. We joy in Thee, Thy holy love

Our endless portion is,

Like Thine own Son, with Him above,

In brightest heavenly bliss.

 

7. O Holy Father, keep us here

In that blest name of love,

Walking before Thee without fear

Till all be joy above.
