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!
