Hymn 374 — Father, Thy love was deepest joy
| 374 | J. PELLATT Adapted | 8.6.8.6.8.8. |
| 1 |
Father, Thy love was deepest joy To Christ when here below: He came to earth (what blest employ!) That we this love might know. Thy Name by Him has been declared, And His own place by us is shared. | |
| 2 |
The lustre of His love, in death Shone forth in glory rare -- Then to impart the living Breath, That we His peace might share. He now delights with us to raise A song of triumph and of praise. | |
| 3 |
He bringeth us to this blest place Where we with Him can sing; Where many sons -- surpassing grace -- Eternal praises bring. On us shines favour ne'er to dim -- The love wherewith Thou lovest Him! | |
