FATHER

He whose mercy would not shun

Us who were by sin undone

But who gave His only Son

Is the One we know as Father!

He whose love would bring us up

To His house that we might sup

Gave His Son the bitter cup

That we might be near the Father!

He who did not spare His Own

That God's mercy might be known

Seated Him upon the throne

That belongs to God the Father!

He who strengthens us with might

To make present to faith's sight

Breadth and length and depths and height

Is the Spirit of the Father!

At the end of all God's ways

And these changing years and days

Christ will yield, to God's own praise,

Rule to Him who is the Father!
