Father, Thy Son beloved leads our praise
After the banquet feast is had and done;
How dear, how sweet to Thee the praise He leads,
And in His praises joining we are one.

Father, we need no goodness more than Thee,
Nor do we seek a love that’s less than Thine;
How we adore Thee now that here we know
Thy searchless, uncreated life divine.

Father, within Thy love our love to Thee
Grows, far transcending all our earthly ties;
Thine own dear love in power leads our hearts
Where Thine own presence deeply satisfies.

Father, by joining with Thy Son beloved,
We all with gladness praise Thee now again;
Joyfully feasting on Thy holy love,
Tasting, as sons, the sweetness of Thy name.

Thine own dear love in power leads our hearts
Where Thine own presence deeply satisfies.
Even if our light is only that of a matchstick, it grows bigger and brighter when drawn toward a larger flame. Thank you, Father, for the profound reality of Thine own love in power that leads us to such a deeply satisfying worship together with Your firstborn Son.
