| 1. We bless Thee, God and Father,
We joy before Thy face;
Beyond dark death for ever
We share Thy Son’s blest place:
He lives a Man before Thee
In cloudless light above,
In Thine unbounded favour,
Thine everlasting love.
2. His Father and our Father,
His God and ours Thou art;
And He is Thy Belovèd,
The gladness of Thy heart:
We’re His, in joy He brings us
To share His part and place,
To know Thy love and favour,
The shining of Thy face.
3. Thy love that now enfolds us
Can ne’er wax cold or dim;
In Him that love doth centre,
And we are loved in Him:
In Him Thy love and glory
Find their eternal rest;
The many sons—His brethren—
In Him how near, how blest!
