O God, our blest Father, Thou lovest us so,
Thy loved One Thou gavest, our Ransom from woe!
To seek and to save us He came from above-
The Light of Thy bosom, the Son of Thy love!

O Father, in mercy, with meekness, Thy Son
Hath told out Thy pity to sinners undone!
To carry our sorrows He came from above-
The Joy of Thy bosom, the Son of Thy love!

Alone and forsaken, our doom did He bear;
Alone in that dankness, Thy Son and Thine Heir!
The stroke of God’s judgment smote Him from above-
The Son of Thy bosom, the Son of Thy love!

Made Thine through His travail, Thy children shall be
Forever, O Father, with Jesus and Thee!
Forever, O Father, with Jesus above,
At rest on Thy bosom as sons of Thy love!
