46-- O gracious God, Thy pleasure

O gracious God, Thy pleasure

46

	1.	O gracious God, Thy pleasure
		Is in Thy Christ made known,
		And tells the boundless measure
		Of blessing for Thine own.
		He has Thy presence entered,
		As Man in heav'n is known;
		In Him Thy glory's centered,
		In Him Thy purpose shown.
	2.	And O what love is beaming
		Refulgent in that face!
		What blessed light is streaming
		>From that most glorious place!
		Both love and light proclaiming
		What Thou, the Father, art,
		And wondrous grace revealing,
		With Thine own Son, our part.
	3.	Thou source of every blessing!
		Thou spring of all delight!
		Thy Name with joy confessing
		Let all the saints unite!
		Each heart its praise outpouring
		To Thee all praise above,
		Each voice in strains adoring
		Re-echoes-"God is love."
