Hymn 450 — Blest be the God and Father
| 450 | G. W. FRASER (1840-1896) | 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6. |
| 1 |
Blest be the God and Father Of Jesus Christ the Son, Who chose us for all blessing Ere time had yet begun; That we, redeemed, His loved ones, Might dwell with Him above, And know the depth and fulness Of His unbounded love. | |
| 2 |
Where all those deep affections, Which fill the Father's heart, Shall find their satisfaction, Their joy to us impart; There we, Himself surrounding, Shall "Abba Father!" say, Within those many mansions, Prepared for that day. | |
| 3 |
E'en whilst we here are waiting His rest on high to share, We know our blest relation As sons before Him there; And by His Spirit's leading, We "Abba, Father!" cry; With ever-growing longing We seek our place on high. | |
