Thee we praise, our God and Fa­ther,
Thou Thy love hast shown;
Ere the world was, Thou didst choose us
For Thine own.

Thou Thine on­ly Son hast giv­en,
Thou art glo­ri­fied,
For, in love to bring us near Thee,
He has died.

By the Spir­it now in­dwell­ing
We with Christ have part;
Father! we Thy sons now call Thee,
From our heart.

Love di­vine our pre­sent por­tion,
Heaven’s choic­est store;
Thee we wor­ship, God and Fa­ther,
Thee adore!

Soon in Thine own house around Thee
Still our praise shall swell;
Sons be­fore Thee ev­er joy­ing
We shall dwell.

For His praise who glo­ri­fied Thee
We like Him shall be;
Firstborn He of ma­ny brethr­en
Praising Thee.
