Hymn 70
Father, before Thy throne of light
- f Father, before Thy throne of light.
The guardian angels bends.
And ever in Thy presence bright.
Their psalms adoring blend:
di And casting down each golden crown.
Beside the crystal sea,
cr With voice and lyre, in happy choir.
Hymn glory. Lord, to Thee.
- mf And as the rainbow lustre falls
Athwart their glowing wings,
cr While Seraph unto Seraph calls.
And each Thy goodness sings;
p Oh may we feel, as low we kneel
To pray Thee for Thy grace,
That Thou art here, for all who fear
The brightness of Thy face.
- mf Here, where the Angels see us come,
To worship day by day,
cr Teach us to seek our heav'nly home.
And serve Thee e'en as they;
f With them to raise our notes of praise,
With them Thy love to own;
Till life's hrst flow'r and fullest pow'r.
Be Thine and Thine alone.
Christly Living
