1  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!
