Jones; Anonymous Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father, long before creation thou hadst chosen us in love; and that love, so deep, so moving, draws us close to Christ above. Still it keeps us, still it keeps us, firmly fixed in Christ alone. 2 Though the world may change its fashion, yet our God is e'er the same; his compassion and his covenant through all ages will remain. God's own children, God's own children, must forever praise his name. 3 God's compassion is my story, is my boasting all the day; mercy free and never failing moves my will, directs my way. God so loved us, God so loved us, that his only Son he gave. 4 Loving Father, now before thee we shall ever sing thy love; and our song will sound unceasing till we reach our homw above, giving glory, giving glory, to our God and to the Lamb.
