Hymn 88 — Thou gav'st us Father, in Thy love,
| 88 | J. N. DARBY (1800-1882) | L.M. |
| 1 |
Thou gav'st us Father, in Thy love, To Christ to bring us home to Thee, Suited to Thine own thoughts above, As sons like Him, with Him to be | |
| 2 |
In Thine own house. There love divine Fills the bright courts with cloudless joy; But 'tis the love that made us Thine Fills all that house without alloy. | |
| 3 |
O boundless grace! What fills with joy Unmingled all that enter there, God's nature, love without alloy, Our hearts are giv'n e'en now to share. | |
| 4 |
God's righteousness with glory bright, Which with its radiance fills that sphere -- E'en Christ, of God the power and light -- Our title is that light to share. | |
| 5 |
O Mind divine, so must it be That glory all belongs to God! O Love divine, that did decree We should be part, through Jesus' blood. | |
