Hymn 25 — Father, Thy name our souls would bless,
| 25 | J. N. DARBY (1800-1882) | C.M. |
| 1 |
Father, Thy name our souls would bless, As children taught by grace, Lift up our hearts in righteousness And joy before Thy face. | |
| 2 |
Sweet is the confidence Thou giv'st, Though high above our praise; Our hearts resort to where Thou liv'st In heav'n's unclouded rays. | |
| 3 |
There in the purpose of Thy love Our place is now prepared, As sons with Him who is above, Who all our sorrows shared. | |
| 4 |
Absent as yet, we rest in hope, treading the desert path, Waiting for Him who takes us up Beyond the power of death. | |
| 5 |
O Holy Father, keep us here In that blest Name of love, Walking before Thee without fear, Till all be joy above. | |
