We Come Unto Our Fathers' God

Gill Hymnal: The Worshipbook #623 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Service for the Lord's Day Opening of Worship Lyrics: 1 We come unto our fathers' God, Their Rock is our salvation; Th'eternal arms, their dear abode, We make our habitation. We bring you, Lord, the praise they brought, We seek you as your saints have sought In every generation. 2 Their joy unto their Lord we bring, Their song to us descending; The Spirit who in them did sing To us is music lending: His song in them, in us, is one; We raise it high, we send it on. The song is never ending. 3 You saints to come, take up the strain, The same sweet theme endeavor; Unbroken be the golden chain! Keep on the song forever! Safe in the same dear dwelling place, Rich with the same eternal grace, Bless the same boundless Giver. Amen. Scripture: Acts 3:13 Tune Title: NUN FREUT EUCH
