Composer: Joseph P. Holbrook

He furnished settings for the choir hymns in Songs for the Sanctuary in his Quartet and chorus Choir (New York, 1871, and sought more recogniation than had been given him in a hymnal of his own, Worship in Song (New York, 1880); a book that found no welcome.

Eternal Father, throned above, Thou fountain of redeeming loveEternal Father! throned above,
Thou Fountain of redeeming love!
Eternal Word! Who left Thy throne
For man's rebellion to atone;
Eternal Spirit, Who dost give
That grace whereby our spirits live;
Thou God of our salvation, be
Eternal praise paid to Thee.
