We bless Thee, God and Father,
We joy before Thy face;
Beyond dark death for ever,
We share Thy Son's blest place.

In cloudless light above,
In Thine unbounded favor,
Thine everlasting love.

His Father and our Father,
His God and ours Thou art;
And He is Thy Beloved,
The gladness of Thy heart.
We're His, in joy He brings us
To share His part and place,
To know Thy love and favor,
The shining of Thy face.
His Father and our Father,
His God and ours Thou art;
And He is Thy Beloved,
The gladness of Thy heart.
We're His, in joy He brings us
To share His part and place,
To know Thy love and favor,
The shining of Thy face.

Thy love that now enfolds us
Can ne'er wax cold or dim;
In Him that love doth center,
And we are loved in Him.
In Him Thy love and glory
Find their eternal rest;
The many sons—His brethren—
In Him, how near, how blest!
Thy love that now enfolds us
Can ne'er wax cold or dim;
In Him that love doth center,
And we are loved in Him.
In Him Thy love and glory
Find their eternal rest;
The many sons—His brethren—
In Him, how near, how blest!

Generally, this Hymn is sung to Holmbridge by JT Lightwood 1856-1944. It is in most Methodist hymn books and is #226 in the 1954 Little Flock Tune Book. Ewing is a bit of a plodder for this refined and ethereal hymn.

Alexander Carruthers was my great grandfather and I have learnt much from his poetry and hymns. They are a treasure to cherish. This is beautiful. Not sure if it was in the book of poems your father published, Kathy?
