There was an hour when Christ rejoiced | C |
And spoke his joy in words of praise | D |
Father I thank thee mighty God | E |
Lord of the earth and heav'ns and seas | F |

I thank thy sovereign power and love | G |
That crowns my doctrine with success | H |
And makes the babes in knowledge learn | I |
The heights and breadths and lengths of grace | J |

But all this glory lies concealed | K |
From men of prudence and of wit | L |
The prince of darkness blinds their eyes | M |
And their own pride resists the light | N |

Father 'tis thus because thy will | O |
Chose and ordained it should be so | P |
'Tis thy delight t' abase the proud | Q |
And lay the haughty scorner low | P |

There's none can know the Father right | N |
But those who learn it from the Son | R |
Nor can the Son be well received | S |

Then let our souls adore our God | E |
Who deals his graces as he please | F |
Nor gives to mortals an account | U |
Or of his actions or decrees | F |
