Father, 'twas Thy love that knew us
 Earth's foundation long before;
 That same love to Jesus drew us
By its sweet constraining power,

And will keep us
 Safely now, and evermore.

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
 Be to God and to the Lamb !

8,7.                J. D. Deck
