 1 

O God and Father, we our praises bring,

For who more worthy of our praise could be

Than Thou, who seekest worshipers who sing

In spirit and in truth adoringly!

 
 2 

All worlds Thou hast created by the Son,

All things are held by His unmeasured power;

Yet we approach Thee in that glorious One:

What cause for worship in this holy hour!

 
 3 

'Tis He who leads us in this blessed sphere,

In the assembly singing praise to Thee; What

joy to Him that we should thus be near

As suited and in perfect liberty!

 
 4 

Here we unite, our song of joy is one!

And Thou, O God, art fully satisfied.

Amidst the praises led by Christ, Thy Son,

Thou hast a dwelling ever to abide.
