O God and Father, we our praises bring,
|
|
| 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. |
