1  Father, 'twas Thy love that knew us
       Earth's foundation long before:
    That same love to Jesus drew us
       By its sweet constraining pow'r,
    And will keep us, and will keep us,
       Safely now, and evermore,
       Safely now, and evermore.
 
 
 2  Now that changeless love enfolds us,
       All its wealth on us bestows;
    While its pow'r unchanging holds us
       In a holy calm repose.
    God and Father, God and Father,
       Unto Thee our worship flows,
       Unto Thee our worship flows.
 
 
 3  God of love, our souls adore Thee!
       We would still Thy grace proclaim,
    Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
       And in glory praise Thy name;
    Praise and worship, praise and worship
       Be to God and to the Lamb!
       Be to God and to the Lamb!
