We come unto our fathers' God

Verse 1

We come unto our Savior God with each past generation; th’eternal arms, their dear abode, we make our habitation. We bring thee, Lord, the praise they brought; we seek thee as thy saints have sought in ev'ry generation.

Verse 2

Their joy unto their Lord we bring, their song to us descendeth; the Spirit who in them did sing to us his music lendeth; his song in them, in us, is one; we raise it high, we send it on— the song that never endeth.

Verse 3

Ye saints to come, take up the strain, the same sweet theme endeavor; unbroken be the golden chain! Keep on the song forever! Safe in the same dear dwelling place, rich with the same eternal grace, bless the same boundless giver!
