Father, Thy name our souls would bless,

John Nelson Darby (1800-1882)

6 Verses Eternal Hope Fatherhood Of God Joyful Praise

Verse 1

Father, Thy name our souls would bless, As children taught by grace, Lift up our hearts in righteousness, And joy before Thy face.

Verse 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,

Verse 3

Eternal ages shall declare The riches of Thy grace, To those who with Thy Son shall share A son's eternal place.

Verse 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.

Verse 5

We joy in Thee, Thy fulness shall Our endless portion be, Like Thine own Son, with whom we'll dwell In bright eternity.

Verse 6

O Holy Father, keep us here In that blest name of love, Walking before Thee without fear, Thy perfect will to prove.
