一 父阿，兒女稱頌祢名，
是受恩典的教訓；
我們歡樂，因祢生命
己使我們歸羊群。
二 祢所給的得救證實，
遠超我們的讚美；
我們的心現在直指
祢在天上的座位。
三 因在那裏，祂為我們
豫備永遠的居所；
祢將生命分給罪人，
祂為罪人謀解脫。
四 永世雖久，不過就是：
顯明祢恩的豐富；
好叫那些因祢兒子
為兒女者，來稱祝。
五 我們現雖未見早晨，
卻仍安心歷世途；
等候祂來提接我們，
脫離死亡和墳墓。
六 我們歡樂，因祢自己
就是我們的永分；
像祢兒子，同祂一起，
享受光明的早晨！
七 哦，求聖父因祂慈名，
保守我們在這裏；
無憂、無慮，隨祂而行，
直到同樂在那地。
1. Father, Thy name our souls would bless,
As children taught by grace,
Lift up our hearts in righteousness
And joy before Thy face.
2. Sweet is the confidence Thou giv'st,
Though high above our praise,
Our hearts resort to where Thou liv'st
In heaven's unclouded rays.
3. There in the purpose of Thy love,
Our place is now prepared,
As sons with Him who is above,
Who all our sorrows shared.
4. Eternal ages shall declare
The riches of Thy grace,
To those who with Thy Son shall share
A son's eternal place.
5. Absent, as yet, we rest in hope,
Treading the desert-path,
Waiting for Him who takes us up
Beyond the pow'r of death.
6. We joy in Thee, Thy holy love
Our endless portion is,
Like Thine own Son, with Him above,
In brightest heavenly bliss.
7. O Holy Father, keep us here
In that blest name of love,
Walking before Thee without fear
Till all be joy above.
