Father, How Sweet |
Father, how sweet must be the pleasure |
You find in Your eternal Son |
For long before You made the heavens |
Both You and He rejoiced as one |
And long before You formed the angels |
Before You made the day and night |
Jesus exulted in Your presence |
And He was all of Your delight |
He was all of Your delight |
Father, what love You’ve shown to rebels |
That You would send Your Son so dear |
Into this world of grief and trouble |
To bring unworthy sinners near |
We’ll never fathom how it pained You |
When You supplied the offering |
To rescue those who had disdained You |
To watch Your dear Son suffering (oh) |
Jesus, it fills our hearts with wonder |
That You would leave Your heavenly place |
To take on flesh to thirst and hunger |
To save the ones who spurned Your grace |
You came to forfeit every mercy |
To die that mercy we would find |
And then You hung alone in darkness |
So in our hearts Your grace would shine |
Your grace would shine (oh) |
Jesus, in glory You’ve ascended |
Never again to leave Your throne |
Because of You we are befriended |
Received and welcomed as God’s own |
Father, how sweet now is Your pleasure |
In us, Your daughters and Your sons |
We will delight in You forever |
In Jesus You have made us one |
In Jesus You have made us one |
