L. M.
FATHER, we joy in Thine own name
The only Son revealed to us;
For fully knowing Thee He came,
Himself Thy revelation was.
`Tis Thy rich grace on righteous ground,
For all is ours by Christ the Lord;
The sacrifice Himself is found,
And life in Him the eternal Word.
Nor this alone; to us Thy Son
His blest relationship has given,
That we true nearness, yea His own,
Might have on earth, for aye in heaven.
In His name therefore we draw near,
Children confiding in Thy love,
And Thee, our Father, magnify,
Thy Son awaiting from above.
