FATHER, THY NAME OUR SOULS WOULD BLESS
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. There in the
purpose of Thy love,
Our place is now
prepared,
As sons with Him
who is above,
Who all our sorrows
shared.
4. Eternal ages
shall declare
The riches of Thy
grace,
To those who with
Thy Son shall share
A son's eternal
place.
5. Absent, as yet,
we rest in hope,
Treading the
desert-path,
Waiting for Him who
takes us up
Beyond the pow'r of
death.
6. We joy in Thee,
Thy holy love
Our endless portion
is,
Like Thine own Son,
with Him above,
In brightest
heavenly bliss.
7. O Holy Father,
keep us here
In that blest name
of love,
Walking before Thee
without fear
Till all be joy
above.
