Author: Mrs. Mary Bowley Peters, 1813-1856 Hymnal: The Sunday School Hymnal #102 (1899) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 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 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! Topics: God Father; Trinity Tune Title: [Holy Father! we address Thee]
Holy Father! we address Thee
