OUR
FATHER, WE PRAISE YOU FOR YOUR WISE DECREES
(Tune: Immortal,
Invisible #34 11.11.11.11)
Our
Father, we praise You for Your wise decrees
By which You have
purposed all things that must be,
All things that are
needful to save Your elect!
We praise You that
nothing to chance has been left.
Our Savior, we praise
You for Your precious blood,
Almighty, redeeming,
sin-atoning blood!
You bore for Your
people God's infinite wrath;
And those You have
ransomed can never taste death!
O Spirit of God, for
Your almighty grace,
We praise You and thank
You, great Giver of peace!
Though once we were
dead in trespasses and sins,
You showed us our Savior and gave faith in Him!
