'Twas "even so, Father," you ever must sing, "Because it seem'd good in thy sight." 5 'Twas all of thy grace we were bro't to obey While others were suffer'd to go, The road which by nature we chose as our way, Which leads to the regions of woe. 6 Then give all the glory to his holy name; To him all the glory belongs; Be yours the high joys still to sound forth his fame, And crown him in each of your songs.

Adoption

Author: Cruttenden Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #XCI (1792) Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Adoption First Line: Let others boast their ancient line Lyrics: 1 Let others boast their ancient line In long succession great; In the proud list let heroes shine, And monarchs swell the state; Descended from the King of Kings, Each saint a nobler title sings. 2 Pronounce me, gracious God, thy son, Own me an heir divine; I'll pity princes on the throne, When I can call thee mine; Scepters and crowns unenvied rise, And lose their lustre in mine eyes. 3 Content, obscure I pass my days, To all I meet unknown, And wait till thou thy child shalt raise, And seat menear thy throne. No name, no honors here I crave, Well pleas'd with those beyond the grave. 4 Jesus, my elder brother, lives, With him I too shall reign; Nor sin, nor death, while he survives, Shall make the promise vain. In him my title stands secure, And shall, while endless years endure. 5 When he, in robes divinely bright, Shall once again appear, Thou, too my soul, shalt shine in light, And his full image bear. Enough!—I wait th' appointed day, Bless'd Savior, haste, and come away! Scripture: 1 John 3:1-3 Languages: English
