Laudes Domini ‎#215

215. Divine Love

1 Holy Father! we address thee—
Loved in thy beloved Son;
Holy Son of God, we bless thee,
Boundless grace hath made us one;
Holy Spirit, aid our songs,
This glad work to thee belongs.

2 Wondrous was thy love, O Father!
Wondrous thine, O Son of God!
Vast the love that bruised and wounded,
Vast the love that bore the rod;
Holy Spirit, still reveal
How those stripes alone can heal.

3 Gracious Father! thy good pleasure
Is to love us as thy Son,
Meting out the self-same measure,
Since thou seest us as one.
Blessèd Jesus, loved are we,
As the Father loveth thee.

4 Hallelujah! we are hasting
To our Father's house above;
By the way our souls are tasting
Rich and everlasting love;
In Jehovah is our boast,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
