Hymn 5 — Father of glory, Thine is now the praise,
| 5 | MRS. H. A. BERG | 10.10.4.10.10.4. |

Father of glory, Thine is now the praise, As in the light of heav'n's unclouded rays We lift our song. The glory of a past eternal plan, The glory of a love ere time began, To Thee belong. | |
| 2 |
We glory in the thought that Thou wast there Before there was a creature formed to share Thy heart of love; And worship at the mighty, sovereign thought, That we as sons should with Thy Son be brought To realms above. | |
| 3 |
To fill Thy heart this counsel was conceived; By Him the working out was all achieved, Through pathways sore. What part have we as brought into this place, Encompassed by illimitable grace, But to adore? | |
| 4 |
Father, we worship Thee as we discern That thou hast been enriched through love's return To all Thy will; For, added to the riches that were then, Thou hast secured vast myriads of men Thy house to fill. | |
