| 1. | We bow and worship, Father, here |
| | And marvel at Thy wondrous love. |
| | O what is man that Thou shouldst deign |
| | To him such boundless grace to prove! |
| 2. | We praise Thee for Thy heart's intent |
| | That man Thy likeness should Possess, |
| | That with Thy life and nature filled |
| | Thine image he should manifest. |
| 3. | Man in Thine image Thou didst make, |
| | To him authority didst give; |
| | Thyself presenting as his life, |
| | That by Thy riches he might live. |
| 4. | To enter man Thou dost desire, |
| | With him to mingle thru Thy grace, |
| | That man may be transformed and built |
| | To be Thy worthy dwelling place. |
| 5. | Tho' man did fall, Thou didst not leave |
| | Thy heart's intent, but Thou didst move; |
| | Redeeming man to bring him back, |
| | Thou didst Thy love and wisdom prove. |
| 6. | In Christ Thou didst Thyself reveal, |
| | Who died and rose, redemption wrought; |
| | In Spirit Thou hast entered man |
| | And to him life and grace hast brought. |
| 7. | My spirit is Thy holiest place, |
| | Thy throne of grace is founded there; |
| | Thou wouldst that we in spirit come |
| | To burn the incense thru our prayer. |
| 8. | Such grace is like a river full |
| | Which from the throne of grace doth come; |
| | It floweth thru, transforming us, |
| | And builds us up to be Thy home. |
| 9. | Receiving of Thy matchless grace, |
| | We marvel at Thy gift so free; |
| | With grateful hearts for Thy great love, |
| | In spirit now we worship Thee. |
