265. O God of grace, our Father

1 O God of grace, our Father,
We bless Thy holy name,
We who enjoy Thy favor,
Made holy, without blame;
In love, which sought and found us,
And brought us nigh to Thee,
And won the rest of glory,
Our heavenly home shall be.

2 Thy deep eternal counsel
Chose us in Christ the Son
Before the earth's foundation,
Or sin had yet begun;
That we might all the nearness
Of the beloved know,
And brought to Thee as children
Our children's praises flow.

3 We worship Thee, our Father,
Soon shall Thy children be
At home in heavenly glory,
Thy house their home shall be;
We worship Thee, our Father,
And praise Thy perfect love,
Soon shall we chant Thy glory
In better strains above.
