God the Father, We Adore Thee
1. ‘God the father, we adore Thee
For the son, Thine image bright:
In whom all thy Holy nature
Dawned on our once hopeless night
2. By His perfect, holy good life
Thou has made known unto us
Fully what our Father is like
And what He requires of us
3. Far from Thee our footstep wandered,
On dark paths of sin and shame;
But our midnight turn to morning,
When the Lord of glory came
4. ‘But when the Lord of Glory came;
Born for man, and fully man,
Divine light has shone upon us,
Revealing Thee well to us.
5. Eternal “Word” of our Father
Fully God in His nature
Word incarnate, God revealing
Long for while dark ages ran.
6. Eternal “Word” of our Father
Fully God in His nature
Word incarnate, God revealing
Long for while dark ages ran.
7. Let our life be new created,
Ever living Lord, in thee,
Till we wake with Thy pure likeness,
When Thy face in heaven we see:
8. God the father, now we bless Thee
For the Son, Thine image bright
In whom Thy Holy nature
Dawned on our adoring sight.
"A lights to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel".
Luke 2:32
