We bow and worship, Father, here (Hymn 32)

Verse 1: We bow and worship, Father, here And marvel at Thy wondrous love. O what is man that Thou shouldst deign To him such boundless grace to prove! Verse 2: We praise Thee for Thy heart's intent That man Thy likeness should possess, That with Thy life and nature filled Thine image he should manifest. Verse 3: Man in Thine image Thou didst make, To him authority didst give; Thyself presenting as his life, That by Thy riches he might live. Verse 4: To enter man Thou dost desire, With him to mingle thru Thy grace, That man may be transformed and built To be Thy worthy dwelling place. Verse 5: Tho' man did fall, Thou didst not leave Thy heart's intent, but Thou didst move; Redeeming man to bring him back, Thou didst Thy love and wisdom prove. Verse 6: In Christ Thou didst Thyself reveal, Who died and rose, redemption wrought; In Spirit Thou hast entered man And to him life and grace hast brought. Verse 7: My spirit is Thy holiest place, Thy throne of grace is founded there; Thou wouldst that we in spirit come To burn the incense thru our prayer. Verse 8: Such grace is like a river full Which from the throne of grace doth come; It floweth thru, transforming us, And builds us up to be Thy home. Verse 9: Receiving of Thy matchless grace, We marvel at Thy gift so free; With grateful hearts for Thy great love, In spirit now we worship Thee.
