FATHER

When a perfect Child

Expressed committal to His Father’s business

How much God enjoyed

Being that Father!

As His bosom Son

Walked in the way of His will

How God rejoiced to be

His Father.

And what the Father’s delight

In being the Father whose glory

At the earliest instant

Raised Christ from the dead!

Now with that Son

Sharing His throne

The Father is enjoying

Being His Father.

Now as Christ’s men

Share His place

The Father is enjoying

Being their Father.

And what is His pleasure in saying

“I will be to you for a Father”

To those who follow

The strait path of His will.
