Father in heaven
how lovely You are

most gracious of gifts
You have brought from afar

our eyes had not seen
and our ears had not heard

what Goodness could come
from the depths of Your Word

i search er' in vain
for a joy more than this

but the reward is no more
than the gethsemane kiss

the darkness may hate You
but i surely cannot

for my hope and my glory
in You it is wrought
