Hymn 119 — Our God and father, we draw near to Thee
| 119 | MISS N. VERGETTE | 10.10.10.10. |
| 1 |
Our God and father, we draw near to Thee In all the worth of Thy beloved Son; All Thou hast e'er desired from man we see In Him, Thy Christ, Thine own anointed One. | |
| 2 |
No thought of His e'er moved apart from Thine; Each holy footstep gave Thee fresh delight; Perfect expression of Thy will divine Thou hadst in Him -- come forth from glory bright. | |
| 3 |
Thou ever lovedst Him -- ere time began He was beside Thee -- one in all Thou art; In Godhead counsel one, in that vast plan In which Thou wouldst make known to men Thy heart. | |
| 4 |
And now Thou lov'st Him, for Himself He gave -- Theme of our song when time shall cease to be; Laid down His life that Thou, O God, shouldst have Fruit of Thy love in sons who worship Thee. | |
