36 We praise Thee, glorious Father, 1. We praise Thee, glorious Father, As objects of Thy grace, Who for Thine own heart's pleasure Are now before Thy face: Thy sons marked out for glory- Known from eternity- With Christ Thy Well-beloved, Object supreme to Thee. 2. Who else but Thee, O Father, Could in Thine only Son So bless us with Thy Spirit, And have us for Thine own? Soon shall we be forever With Christ in glory; then We'll shine in His blest image Eternallv, Amen!
