O blessed God, we praise Thee, In wisdom hast Thou planned A universe of glory, Beyond the changing sand Of time -- where men immortal, Should dwell in radiant light; And creature with Creator, In Thine own realm delight. | |
| 2 |
From out those mighty counsels What treasures have been shown! Thy choicest thoughts in purpose, Before the worlds were known -- That we, in Christ, before Thee, Should share the Son's blest place; Enjoy, in cloudless favour, The riches of Thy grace. | |
| 3 |
And soon this sonship glory -- Secured in wisdom's way -- Shall be our endless portion In that eternal day. So gladly now responsive Our voices we would raise; Blest Father, Son and Spirit To Thee be endless praise! | |
