Father, We Adore Thee

Verse 1

Father, before thee we come to adore thee, To thee our hearts in devotion we raise; Upward ascending, our glad voices blending, Rise on the air in an anthem of praise.

Chorus

Kingdoms and pow’r, and glory divine, Blessing and honor, forever be thine; Earth’s songs re-echo the voice of thy love, Joining her strains with the chorus above.

Verse 2

While thou wert keeping thy watch o’er our sleeping; Safely we rested, upheld by thine arm; When came the dawning so fair of the morning, Still thou wert with us to shield us from harm.

Verse 3

Grant us thy blessing, as humbly confessing, Pardon we ask through the Savior alone; Then shall the voice of happy rejoicing, Echo in music around the great throne.
