Thou Gav'st Us, Father, In Thy Love

In my Father's house there are many abodes; were it not so, I had told you: for I go to prepare you a place; and if I go and shall prepare you a place, I am coming again and shall receive you to myself, that where I am ye also may be. John 14:2,3

Now the bondman abides not in the house for ever: the son abides for ever. John 8:35

  1. John 17:24, John 10:29Thou gav'st us, Father, in Thy love,

    John 17:24, John 10:16To Christ to bring us home to Thee,

    Ephesians 1:4-6, Colossians 1:12Suited to Thine own thoughts above,

    Ephesians 1:6, Romans 8:29As sons like Him, with Him to be

  2. John 14:2,3, Hebrews 3:6In Thine own house. There love divine

    Revelation 21:23,24, Luke 16:32Fills the bright courts with cloudless joy;

    John 17:9,10, Ephesians 2:4But 'tis the love that made us Thine

    2 Chronicles 5:13, John 3:16Fills all that house without alloy.

  3. Romans 5:15, Titus 2:11O boundless grace! What fills with joy

    Psalms 65:4, Psalms 84:4Unmingled all that enter there,

    1 John 4:7,8, 1 John 4:16God's nature, love without alloy,

    John 17:24, 2 Corinthians 1:22Our hearts are giv'n e'en now to share.

  4. John 17:24,25, 1 Corinthians 1:30God's rightiousness with glory bright,

    Psalms 29:9, 1 Peter 3:22Which with its radiance fills that sphere -

    Revelation 21:23, 1 Peter 3:22E'en Christ, of God the power and light -

    Colossians 1:12,13, John 1:4Our title is that light to share.

  5. Romans 11:34, Ephesians 3:9O mind divine, so must it be

    1 Chronicles 29:12, 1 Peter 5:10That glory all belongs to God!

    Ephesians 1:6, 1 Peter 1:2O Love divine, that did decree

    Ephesians 1:7, 1 Peter 1:19We should be part, through Jesus' blood.
