 1 

Our God and Father, we respond anew

To love in Christ revealed, and praise Thy Name.

He did Thy will; and for the joy in view,

Endured the cross, despising all the shame.

 
 2 

He, midst His brethren, strikes the note of praise;

We hear His song, our hearts responsive swell;

And on this day when He His voice doth raise,

In spirit we do join and praise Thee well.

 
 3 

Chosen in Him, Thy well-beloved Son,

We have our part in joy before Thy face;

Predestined, ere this world had yet begun,

For that blest world, where all bespeaks Thy grace.

 
 4 

Sons loved and loving, whom Thy Spirit fills,

Our endless portion Christ in us to be;

Each with some trait of Him whose love us thrills,

For Thy delight and joy eternally.
