Luke 10:21: yesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank Thee, &c

Father, we in the joy rejoice
Of Thine eternal Son,
Approve Thy wise mysterious choice,
Thy depths of love unknown;
Thy love demands our highest praise,
And lo, we with our Lord
Adore the wonders of Thy grace
By Christ Himself adored.

Not by a blind capricious will
Thou dost Thy gifts bestow,
But justly from the proud conceal
What all the humble know;
To babes Thou dost Thy truths declare,
Explain Thy whole design,
And stamp them with the character
The holy name Divine.

For this we magnify Thy name
Through our High-priest above,
Thine awful righteousness proclaim,
Thy free electing love:
Who perish, perish self-destroy'd,
While we our voices raise
In songs of grateful joy employ'd,
For ever saved by grace.
