Eternal
Father, When to Thee
Words by Hervey D. Ganse 1872
Music by William Knapp 1738
Eternal
Father, when to Thee, Beyond all worlds,
by faith
I soar, Before They boundless majesty
I stand
in silence, and adore.
But
Savior, Thou art by my side; Thy voice I hear,
Thy face
I see: Thou art my Friend, my daily Guide;
God over
all, yet God with me.
And Thou,
great Spirit, in my heart, Dost make Thy Temple day by day;
The Holy
Ghost of God Thou art,
Yet
dwellest in this house of clay.
Blest
Trinity, in whom alone All things created move or rest,
High in
the heav’ns Thou has thy throne;
Thou hast
Thy throne within my breast.
This hymn was found in Church and Sunday School Hymnal
Supplement, Mennonite Publishing House Scottdale, PA 1911.
