Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 73 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blest be the Father and His love,
To whose celestial source we owe
Rivers of endless joy above,
And rills of comfort here below.
2 Glory to Thee, great Son of God,
From whose dear wounded body rolls
A precious stream of vital blood,
Pardon and life for dying souls.
3 We give the sacred Spirit praise,
Who in our hearts of sin and woe
Makes living springs of grace arise,
And into boundless glory flow.
4 Thus God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, we adore;
That sea of life and love unkown,
Without a bottom or a shore. Used With Tune: ANTWERP Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, Book III, 1709
Blest Be The Father And His Love
