<p>“Abba, Father!” We approach Thee<br>
|
|
In our Savior’s precious Name;<br>
|
|
We, Thy children, here assembled,<br>
|
|
Now Thy promised blessing claim;<br>
|
|
From our sins His blood hath washed us,<br>
|
|
’Tis through Him our souls draw nigh,<br>
|
|
And Thy Spirit, too, hath taught us,<br>
|
|
“Abba, Father,” thus to cry.</p>
|
|
<p>Once as prodigals we wandered<br>
|
|
In our folly far from Thee,<br>
|
|
But Thy grace, o’er sin abounding,<br>
|
|
Rescued us from misery;<br>
|
|
Thou Thy prodigals hast pardoned,<br>
|
|
Kissed us with a Father’s love,<br>
|
|
Spread the festive board, and called us,<br>
|
|
E’er to dwell with Thee above.</p>
|
|
<p>Clothed in garments of salvation,<br>
|
|
At Thy table is our place,<br>
|
|
We rejoice, and Thou rejoicest,<br>
|
|
In the riches of Thy grace;<br>
|
|
“It is meet,” we hear Thee saying,<br>
|
|
“We should merry and be glad,<br>
|
|
I have found My once lost children,<br>
|
|
Now they live who once were dead.”</p>
|
|
<p>“Abba, Father!” all adore Thee,<br>
|
|
All rejoice in heav’n above,<br>
|
|
While in us they learn the wonders<br>
|
|
Of Thy wisdom, grace, and love;<br>
|
|
Soon before Thy throne assembled,<br>
|
|
All Thy children shall proclaim,<br>
|
|
“Glory, everlasting glory,<br>
|
|
Be to God and to the Lamb!”</p>
