Abba, we come, head bowed to You

C39 E8039
1
Abba, we come, head bowed to You;
Kneeling, our whole heart worships You;
Not ox nor sheep, Reality*
In spirit offer unto Thee.
2
Abba, e’er- and self-existing,
You span the two eternities;
Your throne in heav’n’s established thus,
Most holy, mighty, glorious.
3
A hopeless, helpless, sinful throng—
Dare we entreat You though we’re wrong?
We only knew Your righteousness
And not Your heart of love for us.
4
Yet through Your precious only Son
You’re now the manifested One;
If sinner unredeemed is known,
You have no rest upon Your throne.
5
Your one Son briefly You eschewed
To gain the sinful multitude;
You gave Him up to cross and pain,
That we a way to You could gain.
6
Brought by the death of Your dear Son,
We many sons in Your name come;
You who did once inspire fear
Are now to us our Abba dear.
7
So deep Your love, so high Your grace;
Your debt we never can efface;
We can but thank You evermore,
And Abba worship, praise, adore.
*Reality refers to Christ.
