Hymn using same tune: Tune 2: #696 (Tune 1)

 
 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.
