Descant: If our love were but more simple, we should take him at his word; and our lives would be all gladness in the joy of Christ our Lord.

Father, Long before Creation

Author: Francis P. Jones Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 1 Lyrics: 1 Father, long before creation you had chosen us in love, and that love so deep, so moving, draws us close to Christ above. Still it keeps us firmly fixed in Christ alone. 2 Though the world may change its fashion, you will still remain the same; your compassion and your covenant through all ages will remain. Your own children shall forever praise your name. 3 Your compassion is our story, is our boasting all the day; mercy free and never failing moves our will, directs our way. God so loved us that he gave his only Son. 4 Loving Father, now before you we shall ever sing your grace, and our song will sound forever when we see you face to face, giving glory to the Lamb upon the throne.
