Hymn 32  

SUBJECT: WORSHIP OF THE FATHER—HIS INTENT
METER: 8.8.8.8.
AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: William Knapp

1We bow and worship, Father, here
 And marvel at Thy wondrous love.
 O what is man that Thou shouldst deign
 To him such boundless grace to prove!
2We praise Thee for Thy heart’s intent
 That man Thy likeness should possess,
 That with Thy life and nature filled
 Thine image he should manifest.
3Man in Thine image Thou didst make,
 To him authority didst give;
 Thyself presenting as his life,
 That by Thy riches he might live.
4To enter man Thou dost desire,
 With him to mingle thru Thy grace,
 That man may be transformed and built
 To be Thy worthy dwelling place.
5Tho’ man did fall, Thou didst not leave
 Thy heart’s intent, but Thou didst move;
 Redeeming man to bring him back,
 Thou didst Thy love and wisdom prove.
6In Christ Thou didst Thyself reveal,
 Who died and rose, redemption wrought;
 In Spirit Thou hast entered man
 And to him life and grace hast brought.
7My spirit is Thy holiest place,
 Thy throne of grace is founded there;
 Thou wouldst that we in spirit come
 To burn the incense thru our prayer.
8Such grace is like a river full
 Which from the throne of grace doth come;
 It floweth thru, transforming us,
 And builds us up to be Thy home.
9Receiving of Thy matchless grace,
 We marvel at Thy gift so free;
 With grateful hearts for Thy great love,
 In spirit now we worship Thee.
