1 

Father, Thy name our souls would bless,

   As children taught by grace,

Lift up our hearts in righteousness,

   And joy before Thy face.

 2 

Sweet is the confidence Thou giv'st,

   Though high above our praise;

Our hearts resort to where Thou liv'st

   In heaven's unclouded rays.

 3 

Eternal ages shall declare

   The riches of Thy grace,

To those who with Thy Son shall share

   A son's eternal place.

 4 

Absent as yet, we rest in hope,

   Treading the desert path,

Waiting for Him who takes us up

   Beyond the pow'r of death.

 5 

We joy in Thee, Thy fulness shall

   Our endless portion be,

Like Thine own Son, with whom we'll dwell

   In bright eternity.

 6 

O Holy Father, keep us here

   In that blest name of love,

Walking before Thee without fear,

   Thy perfect will to prove.
