Lyrics

God, our Fa­ther, we ad­ore Thee!
We, Thy child­ren, bless Thy name!
Chosen in the Christ be­fore Thee,
We are ho­ly with­out blame.
We adore Thee! We ad­ore Thee!
Abba’s prais­es we pro­claim!
We ad­ore Thee! We ad­ore Thee!
Abba’s prais­es we pro­claim!

Son eter­nal, we ad­ore Thee!
Lamb up­on the throne on high!
Lamb of God, we bow be­fore Thee,
Thou hast brought Thy peo­ple nigh!
We ad­ore Thee! We ad­ore Thee!
Son of God, who came to die!
We ad­ore Thee! We ad­ore Thee!
Son of God, who came to die!

Holy Spir­it, we ad­ore Thee!
Paraclete and heav­en­ly Guest!
Sent from God and from the Sav­ior,
Thou hast led us in­to rest.
We ad­ore Thee! We ad­ore Thee!
By Thy grace for­ev­er blessed:
We ad­ore Thee! We ad­ore Thee!
By Thy grace for­ev­er blessed!

Father, Son, and Ho­ly Spir­it,
Three in One! We give Thee praise!
For the rich­es we in­her­it,
Heart and voice to Thee we raise!
We ad­ore Thee! We ad­ore Thee!
Thee we bless, through end­less days!
We ad­ore Thee! We ad­ore Thee!
Thee we bless, through end­less days!
