Abba, we come, and low we bow before Thee

Abba, we come, and low we bow before Thee, Kneeling, we worship, with whole heart adore Thee, Nor cattle nor sheep, Thy requisite offering; In spirit, "reality"—Christ—we bring. |

|
Abba, "I AM," eternal, self-existing, Ancient of Days who forever shall be, Thy throne in the heav'ns established aboundeth In holiness, glory, authority. |

Hopeless and helpless, blackened by offenses, How could we dare to entreat for forgiveness? We only had seen Thine impartial righteousness, Never Thine heart full of love for us. |
4
|
Yet from Thy bosom, Thy dear Son Thou sendedst, To reveal fully Thy wondrous self to us; Each day sinners waited yet for redemption, Enthroned, Thou could'st no satisfaction find. |
5
|
Thine only Son Thou briefly didst abandon Just to gain us who were lost in transgression; Allow'dst Him to die in anguish, forsaken, To open our way to draw nigh to Thee. |
6
|
Thy Son beloved didst die for us, O Father; Now we're Thy sons, into Thy name we gather; Thou once didst inspire great fear in our hearts But "Abba," dear Father today Thou art. |
7
|
Thy love so deep, Thy grace so all-surpassing Abba, Thy sons ne'er could pay back such blessing; We can but o'erflow with gratitude ever, And worship and praise Thee forevermore. |
"Reality" in verse 1 refers to Christ. |
