Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs ‎#50

50. Our God and Father, we draw near to Thee

1 Our God and Father, we draw near to Thee
In all the worth of Thy beloved Son;
All Thou hast e'er desired from man we see
In Him, Thy Christ, Thine own anointed One.

2 No thought of His e'er moved apart from Thine;
Each holy footstep gave Thee fresh delight;
Perfect expression of Thy will divine
Thou hadst in Him some forth from glory bright.

3 Thou ever lovedst Him ere time began
He was beside Thee, object of Thy heart;
One with Thyself in Thine eternal plan,
In Godhead glory one in all Thou art.

4 And now Thou lov'st Him, for Himself He gave--
Theme of our song when time shall cease to be;
Laid down His life that Thou, O God, shoudst have
Fruit of Thy love in sons who worship Thee.
