51--Our God and Father, we respond to Thee

Our God and Father, we respond to Thee

51

	1.	Our God and Father, we respond to Thee
		As sons brought near,
		Suited, in love and holy liberty,
		To this blest sphere.
		O wondrous thought, that many there should
		be
		Like Christ, for Thy delight eternally!
	2.	He, Thy delight, in whom we have our part,
		Through grace to share
		Thy love for Him, the Object of Thy heart
		Beyond compare.
		His glory in Thy presence now we see,
		As with Him there in love's complacency.
	3	'Tis here He sings-what joy His heart doth
		find,
		Thyself to praise,
		While many sons are stirred in heart and mind
		One voice to raise
		In worship, God and Father, unto Thee,
		Supreme, Thou Source in love's economy!
