Verse 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. Verse 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. Verse 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!
