Father, Thy Love Was Deepest Joy

In the same hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit and said, I praise thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that thou hast hid these things from wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes: yea, Father, for thus has it been well-pleasing in thy sight. Luke 10:21

As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you: abide in my love. John 15:9
