Father, in whom we live

Verse 1
Father, in whom we live,
In whom we are, and move, (Acts 17:28)
The glory, power, and praise receive (Rev. 4:11)
Of thy creating love:
Let all the angel-throng
Give thanks to God on high, (Isa. 6:3, Rev. 5:11-12, Rev. 7:11-12)
While earth repeats the joyful song, (Ps. 19:1)
And echoes to the sky. (Ps. 96:1-2)

Incarnate deity, (John 1:14, Col. 1:29)
Let all the ransom’d race
Render in thanks their lives to thee (Rom. 12:1)
For thy redeeming grace; (Rom. 3:24, Eph. 1:7, Tit. 2:11)
The grace to sinners shew’d, (Eph. 2:8)
Ye heavenly quires, proclaim, (Rev. 7:9-12)
And cry Salvation to our God, (Ps. 3:8)
Salvation to the Lamb. (Rev. 7:10)

Spirit of holiness, (Rom. 1:4)
Let all thy saints adore
Thy sacred energy, and bless
Thine heart-renewing power (Ezek. 36:26-27, Tit. 3:5)
Not[1] angel-tongues can tell
Thy love’s extatic height, (Eph. 3:18-19)
The glorious joy unspeakable, (I Pet. 1:8)
The beatific sight.

Eternal Tri-une Lord,
Let all the hosts above,
Let all the sons of men record,
And dwell upon thy love; (Ps. 107:43)
When heaven and earth are fled
Before thy glorious face, (Rev. 20:11)
Sing all the saints thy love hath made,
Thine everlasting praise. (Rev. 4:8, Rev. 5:13, Ps. 89:1, Ps. 145:10)
