Father, we give Thee all the praise

Verse 1
Father, we give thee all the praise,
Thy mercy, love, and causeless grace,
The source of our salvation own;
But that which Jesu’s blood applies,
Absolves, and wholly sanctifies,
Is faith, almighty faith alone:

Verse 2
And when our faith in vision ends,
And when the spotless bride ascends,
We shall repeat the song above,
Our Saviour on the throne proclaim,
Sav’d by the Father, and the Lamb,
Forever happy in thy love.
