Sweet the blessed name of Father:
Sweet and blest the thought to me,
Nought from Thee my soul shall sever-
Loved of God ineffably,
Abba’s smile of grace forever
My unending ecstasy!
Abba’s smile of grace forever
My unending ecstasy!

Sweet the blessed name of Father:
Sweet and blest the thought to me,
Thou shalt bear me as a jewel
On Thy heart unceasingly,
Purchase of the cross so cruel,
Trophy of Christ’s agony!
Purchase of the cross so cruel,
Trophy of Christ’s agony!

Sweet the blessed name of Father:
Sweet and blest the thought to me,
Thou shalt plant me in Thy bosom,
Abba’s love my sunshine be:
There my soul shall ever blossom,
Yielding praise eternally!
There my soul shall ever blossom,
Yielding praise eternally!
