Father, Thy Son beloved leads our praise

After the banquet feast is had and done;

How dear, how sweet to Thee the praise He leads,

And in His praises joining we are one.

Father, we need no goodness more than Thee,

Nor do we seek a love that's less than Thine;

How we adore Thee now that here we know

Thy searchless, uncreated life divine.

Father, within Thy love our love to Thee

Grows, far transcending all our earthly ties;

Thine own dear love in power leads our hearts

Where Thine own presence deeply satisfies.

Father, by joining with Thy Son beloved,

We all with gladness praise Thee now again;

Joyfully feasting on Thy holy love,

Tasting, as sons, the sweetness of Thy name.
