Returning to His Father’s throne

Verse 1
Returning to his Father’s throne
Hear all the interceeding Son,
And join in that eternal prayer:
He prays that we with him may reign,
And he that did the kingdom gain
For us, shall soon conduct us there.

Verse 2
“I will that those thou giv’st to me
May all my heavenly glory see,
But first be perfected in one.”
Amen, amen our heart replies,
Prepare and take us to the skies,
Thy prayer be heard, thy will be done!
