Father of Everlasting Grace

Father of ev­er­last­ing grace

Thy good­ness and Thy truth we praise

Thy good­ness and Thy truth we prove;

Thou hast

in hon­or of Thy Son

The gift un­speak­able sent down

The Spir­it of life

and pow­er and love.

Send us the Spir­it of Thy Son

To make the depths of God­head known

To make us share the life di­vine;

Send Him the sprin­kled blood to apply

Send Him our souls to sanc­ti­fy

And show and seal us ev­er Thine.

So shall we pray

and nev­er cease;

So shall we thank­ful­ly con­fess

Thy wis­dom

truth

and pow­er

and love;

With joy un­speak­able ad­ore

And bless and praise Thee ev­er­more

And serve Thee as Thy hosts above:

Till

added to that heav­en­ly choir

We raise our songs of tri­umph high­er

And praise Thee in a nob­ler strain

Out-soar the first-born ser­aph’s flight

And sing

with all our friends in light

Thy ev­er­last­ing love to man.
