1. We praise Thee, glorious Father,
  As objects of Thy grace,
  Who for Thine own heart's pleasure
  Are now before Thy face:
  Thy sons marked out for glory ��
  Known from eternity ��
  With Christ Thy Well �� beloved,
  Object supreme to Thee.
  
2. Who else but Thee, O Father,
  Could in Thine only Son
  So bless us with Thy Spirit,
  And have us for Thine own?
  Soon shall we be forever
  With Christ in glory; then
  We'll shine in His blest image
  Eternally, Amen!
