GRH 064 Father, Long Before Creation

(1)
Father, long before creation
Thou hadst chosen us in love;
And that love, so deep, so moving,
Draws us close to Christ above,
Still it keeps us, Still it keeps us,
Firmly fixed in Christ alone.

(2)
Tho’ the world may change its fashion,
Yet our God is e’er the same
His compassion and His covenant
Thro’ all ages will remain
God’s own children God’s own children
Must forever praise His name.

(3)
God’s Compassion is my story,
Is my boasting all the day;
Mercy free and never failing
Moves my will, directs my way.
God so loved us, God so loved us,
That His only Son He gave.

(4)
Loving Father, now before Thee
We will ever praise Thy love;
And our song shall sound unceasing
Till we reach our home above,
Giving glory, Giving glory,
To our God and to the Lamb.
