Our God and Father, we respond to Thee As sons brought near, Suited, in love and holy liberty, To this blest sphere. O wondrous thought, that many there should be Like Christ, for Thy delight eternally! |

He, Thy delight, in whom we have our part, Through grace to share Thy love for Him, the Object of Thy heart Beyond compare. His glory in Thy presence now we see, As with Him there in love’s complacency. |

’Tis here He sings—what joy His heart doth find, Thyself to praise, While many sons are stirred in heart and mind One voice to raise In worship, God and Father, unto Thee, Supreme, Thou Source in love’s economy! |

正當眾子你前口唱、心和，
同聲頌揚；
祂在率領，心中何等喜樂，
向你歌唱。
父神，在那愛的經營之中，
你是最高源頭，配得稱頌。

Best song in the world! - everthing is here. GOD'S plan and economy is to bring us to this ' blest sphere'. How can we not respond to Abba and be led to worship him in and by the leading of his Son.
All of the Fathers love is poured out upon the Son in whom we now have a part. It is here both God and man are content as we share and bask in real love.
Oh Abba dear Abba we respond to thee!

Our response in this hymn is not of our unworthiness as a sinner, but as one placed in the blessed sphere of the Son! The revelation of the Father and the Son in union, fellowship and eternal delight is overwhelming. Even more, for us to participate in THIS comes without words to describe our blessed place in Christ, the Son. May many responses of love come forth as we draw nearer to our Source, and kiss our loving Father in worship as sons!
