1
"Abba, Father," we approach Thee
  In our Savior's precious name.
We, Thy children, here assembling,
  Now the promised blessing claim.
From our guilt His blood has washed us,
  'Tis through Him our souls draw nigh,
And Thy Spirit too has taught us
  "Abba, Father," thus to cry.
2
Once as prodigals we wandered,
  In our folly, far from Thee;
But Thy grace, o'er sin abounding,
  Rescued us from misery.
Clothed in garments of salvation
  At Thy table is our place;
We rejoice, and Thou rejoicest,
  In the riches of Thy grace.
3
Thou the prodigal hast pardoned,
  "Kissed us" with a Father's love;
"Killed the fatted calf," and made us
  Fit Thy purpose to approve.
"It is meet," we hear Thee saying,
  "We should merry be and glad;
I have found My once-lost children,
  Now they live who once were dead."
4
"Abba, Father," we adore Thee,
  While the hosts in heaven above
E'en in us now learn the wonders
  Of Thy wisdom, grace, and love.
Soon before Thy throne assembled,
  All Thy children shall proclaim
Abba's love shown in redemption,
  And how full is Abba's name!

James George Beck 1807-1884. British-born in St. Edmunds, Suffolk. A New Zealand evangelist. Went to India as an officer in 1824.

Was blessed with a praying mother like Timothy who prayed for an hour on behalf of her children in the evening and prayed with them before administering any punishment. All of her children up to the third generation were converted at an early age.

Studied under one of Napoleon’s generals. Served under the 14th Madras Infantry He drew up a code of good resolution but one he could not keep. He hoped after service to serve in Parliament.

In 1826 he was saved after hearing a gospel message his sister took him to hear. Now his passion became to follow Jesus and win souls for the Kingdom

He met and married an evangelical clergyman’s daughter.

He returned to India and began boldly witnessing for Christ among his brother officers.

In 1835 he resigned his commission to become a clergyman in the Church of England but found it was contrary to the church of God. He asked his wife what should he do? His wife replied “whatever you believe the will of God to be, do it at any cost” He gave up his “ promised” living and found others like himself known as the “Brethren”. He left the Church of England and began to live by faith.

Mr Deck began to witness in villages around. To do and reach God’s Word.

Due to Mr. Deck’s failing health in 1852 his family moved to New Zealand, where he recovered, but his wife went home to be with the Lord and was buried there. He labored for thirty years more in that area, until in 1882 he became an invalid for two years. On August 14, 1884, James George Deck passed away into the presence of the Lord.

Once as prodigals we wandered,

In our folly, far from Thee;

But Thy grace, o’er sin abounding,

Rescued us from misery.

Clothed in garments of salvation

At Thy table is our place;

We rejoice, and Thou rejoicest,

In the riches of Thy grace.

Thou the prodigal hast pardoned,

“Kissed us” with a Father’s love;

“Killed the fatted calf, ” and made us

Fit Thy purpose to approve.

“It is meet, ” we hear Thee saying,

“We should merry be and glad;

I have found My once-lost children,

Now they live who once were dead
