| 1. Abba, Father, we approach you In our Savior’s precious name; We, your children, here assembling, Now your promised blessing claim. From our sins his blood has washed us, ’Tis thru' him our souls draw nigh; And your Spirit, too, has taught us, "Abba, Father," thus to cry. 2. Once as prodigals we wandered In our folly far from you; But your grace, o’er sin abounding, Rescued us from deepest gloom. Then your prodigals you pardoned, Kissed us with a Father’s love, Killed the fatted calf, and called us E’er to dwell with you above. 3. Clothed in garments of salvation, At Thy table is our place; We rejoice, with you delighting, In the riches of your grace. "It is fit," we hear you saying, "We should merry and be glad; I have found my once-lost children; Now they live who once were dead!" 4. "Abba, Father!" all adore you, All rejoice in Heav’n above, While in us they learn the wonders Of your wisdom, grace, and love. Soon before your throne assembled, All your children shall proclaim, "Glory, everlasting glory, Be to God and to the Lamb!" | The Cyber Hymnal #3 Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs #2 (2018) Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship #27 (2024) |
