We bless Thee, God and Father,
We joy before Thy face;
Beyond dark death for ever,
We share Thy Son’s blest place.
He lives a Man before Thee,
In cloudless light above,
In Thine unbounded favor,
Thine everlasting love.
We joy before Thy face;

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 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!
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!

There is no biography on Alexander Carruthers, the writer of this hymn but some information on Alexander Ewing the composer of the tune for this hymn is written in The Cyber Hymnal.
Ewing was born January 3, 1830, Old Machar Parish, Aberdeen, Scotland. and died on July 11, 1895, Tauton, Somerset, England. He was buried in All Saints Churchyard, Trull, Somerset, England.
Alexander was the son of physician Alexander Ewing and Barbara McCombie. He studied law in Marischal College in Aberdeen. He had little inclination for that profession, though, and was allowed to abandon it and go to Heidelberg to study German and music.
During the Crimean war in 1855, Ewing joined the army. Afterwards, he went to South Australia, and then China, where he took part in the campaigns of 1860 and 1862. He returned to England in 1866. The next year he married Juliana Horatia Gatty, author of Jackanapes; the second daughter of Alfred Gatty, vicar of Ecclesfield and sub-dean of York Cathedral; and sister of Alfred Scott Gatty—songwriter and famous in the field of heraldry (the system by which coats of arms, and other armorial bearings are deviced, described and regulated).
After several more years of foreign service, Ewing returned to England in 1883, and retired from the army in 1889. Ewing‘s true love was always music. A member of the harmonic choir in Aberdeen, he brought his newly written tune EWING to practice one night, and that choir was the first ever to sing it.
