Father, to Thee a joyful song we raise
With all Thine own;
And in Thy presence sound a note of praise
To Thee alone;
Bro't nigh, bro't home to Thee—O wondrous grace,
That gives us now with Thine own Son our place.
With all Thine own;
And in Thy presence sound a note of praise
To Thee alone;
Bro't nigh, bro't home to Thee—O wondrous grace,
That gives us now with Thine own Son our place.

How deep the holy joy that fills that scene,
Where love is known!
Thy love, our God and Father, now is seen,
In Him alone;
As, in the holy calm of Thine own rest,
He leads the praise of those Thy love has blessed.
Where love is known!

In Him alone;
As, in the holy calm of Thine own rest,
He leads the praise of those Thy love has blessed.

He leads the praise! How precious to Thine ear
The song He sings!
How precious, too, to Thee—how near, how dear
Are those He brings
To share His place: 'twas thus that Thou didst plan;
Thou lovedst Him before the world began.

He praised the Father
in the church.
In His resurrection, Christ not only declared the name of the Father to His brothers, but He also praised the Father in the midst of the church (2:11-12). When the Lord declared the name of the Father to His brothers, He praised the name of the Father in the church. The brothers are the church. Individually they are His brothers, and collectively they are the church that He produced in His resurrection. On the evening of His resurrection, His brothers were gathered together, and He came to meet with them. That was the first church meeting. The first church meeting was not held on the Day of Pentecost. On that day, the church expanded, but the first church meeting was on the evening of the Lord's resurrection. In this church meeting, the Lord not only declared the name of the Father to His brothers, but He also praised the Father in the midst of the church.

The Lord's table - its significance in figure is indeed unsearchable.. (but we attempt to search anyway! )... thank you, Lord! Bless the Lord, oh my soul! Both aspects of sweetness and bitterness make up the sentiments of the Lord's gift and sacrifice of Himself to us and the Father's all-embracing love, poured out as the economical, life-injecting, clothing Spirit, into our spirits, souls and bodies. Oh, what grace! (the quote tab regarding the bitter herbs is ...!!! )

We enjoy this song so much in Round Rock
祂領詩歌，你耳何等樂聽祂的頌稱；
但你豈不也是一樣愛聆
我們和聲；
你心愛祂遠在創世之前，
你也定規我們作祂同伴。

What a joyous expression Medea: “The real worship that the Father wants today is His Son worshipping Him from within all the believers as the church. This is quite deep. ”
When we sing on the Lords day and in every gathering it’s actually Christ singing in us to the father.

Thank you Ana for the historical account of this hymn. I appreciate knowing the origins of the hymns and life of their composers.
