Text Based On Galatians Chapter 4
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit
of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Abba, Father
"Abba, Father!" We approach Thee in our Savior's precious Name;
We, Thy children, here assembled, now Thy promised blessing claim;
From our sins His blood hath washed us,'Tis through Him our souls draw nigh,
And Thy Spirit, too, hath taught us, "Abba, Father," thus to cry.
Once as prodigals we wandered in our folly far from Thee,
But Thy grace, o'er sin abounding, rescued us from misery;
Thou Thy prodigals hast pardoned, kissed us with a Father's love,
Spread the feast table, and called us, e'er to dwell with Thee above.
Clothed in garments of salvation, at Thy table is our place,
We rejoice, and Thou rejoicest, in the riches of Thy grace;
"It is meet," we hear Thee saying, "we should rejoice and be glad,
I have found My once lost children, now they live who once were dead."
"Abba, Father!" we adore Thee, all rejoice in heaven above,
While in us they learn the wonders of Thy wisdom, grace, and love;
Soon before Thy throne assembled, all Thy children shall proclaim,
"Glory, everlasting glory, be to God and to the Lamb!"
