             1. Father, long before creation  
              Thou hadst chosen us in love,  
              And that love so deep, so moving,  
              Draws us close to Christ above.  
              Still it keeps us, still it keeps us 
              Firmly fixed in Christ alone.  
            2. Though the world may change its fashion,  
              Yet our God is e'er the same;  
              His compassion and His covenant 
              Through all ages will remain.  
              God's own children, 
              God's own children 
              Must forever praise His name.  
            3. God's compassion is my story, 
              Is my boasting all the day; 
              Mercy free and never failing  
              Moves my will, directs my way. 
              God so loved us, 
              God so loved us  
              That His only Son He gave. 
             4. Loving Father now before Thee 
              We will ever praise Thy love, 
              And our songs will sound unceasing 
              'Til we reach our home above, 
              Giving glory,  
              giving glory  
              To our God and to the 
             TAG: Giving glory,  
              giving glory  
              To our God and to the Lamb.
