O Father, Thou art boundless love

O Father, Thou art boundless love;
We praise Thee and adore Thee.
For lessons from Thy grace above,
We can but joy before Thee.
For sonship Thou predestined us,
Before the world was founded;
In time Thy pow’r was manifest
And grace to us abounded.

Thine only Son from death Thou raised,
Firstborn in resurrection;
His work completed, well He’s praised;
His vict’ry’s our possession.
We’ve now become Thy many sons;
Our heart with praise is ringing;
All that Thy firstborn Son has done
Fills all our days with singing.

His God is also ours, we’re shown;
His Father is our Father.
Flesh of His flesh, bone of His bone;
Naught us from Him can sever.
By Him we’re now led back to Thee
To sing in congregation;
Like Him and one with Him are we,
Thy Firstborn’s duplication.

What grace and love divine this is!
Thy Son and sons joined ever;
Our blest eternal portion ’tis,
Our Father’s joy and pleasure!
Thy Son will come from heaven soon;
Today we here await Him;
May this desire our hearts consume:
With lute and lyre to praise Him.
