Lyrics

Father of me, and all mankind, (Matt. 6:9, Luke 11:2)
And all the hosts above, (Eph. 3:14-15, Eph. 4:6)
Let every understanding mind
Unite to praise thy love, (Ps. 63:3, Ps. 138:2)
To know thy nature and thy name, (Matt. 6:9, Luke 11:2)
One God in Persons Three, (I Jn. 5:7)
And glorify the great I AM (Ex. 3:14, John 8:58)
Thro’ all eternity.
