“Abba, Father!” We approach Thee “Abba, Father!” We approach Thee Abba Padre! Te adoramos en el Nombre de Jesús; In our Savior's precious Name; In our Savior's precious Name; Dios y Padre Te llamamos, hechos hijos de la luz. We, Thy children, here assembled, We, Thy children, here assembled, Ya del juicio libertados, por la muerte del Señor; Now Thy promised blessing claim; Now Thy promised blessing claim; Y por Él reconciliados, disfrutamos de Tu amor. From our sins His blood hath washed us, From our sins His blood hath washed us, Pródigos un tiempo fuimos, y alejados del hogar; 'Tis through Him our souls draw nigh, 'Tis through Him our souls draw nigh, Mas Tu voz de amor oímos, pues quisístenos llamar; And Thy Spirit, too, hath taught us, And Thy Spirit, too, hath taught us, Por Jesús nos perdonaste y nos allegaste a Ti, “Abba, Father,” thus to cry. “Abba, Father,” thus to cry. Nos besaste y nos sentaste, en Tu comunión aquí. Once as prodigals we wandered Once as prodigals we wandered Por Tu mano revestidos del ropaje de salud; In our folly far from Thee, In our folly far from Thee, En Tu casa recogidos, por Tu gran solicitud; But Thy grace, o'er sin abounding, But Thy grace, o'er sin abounding, Redimidos y lavados, por la sangre de Jesús, Rescued us from misery; Rescued us from misery; Restaurados, bien amados, somos hijos de la luz. Thou Thy prodigals hast pardoned, Thou Thy prodigals hast pardoned, ¡Abba! todos Te alabamos, muy contentos de saber Kissed us with a Father's love, Kissed us with a Father's love, Que los bienes que gozamos, nos revelan Tu querer. Spread the festive board, and called us, Spread the festive board, and called us, Que Tú encuentras complacencia en mostrarnos Tu favor, E'er to dwell with Thee above. E'er to dwell with Thee above. Y por tal benevolencia, Te adoramos con fervor. Clothed in garments of salvation, Clothed in garments of salvation, At Thy table is our place, At Thy table is our place, We rejoice, and Thou rejoicest, We rejoice, and Thou rejoicest, In the riches of Thy grace; In the riches of Thy grace; “It is meet,” we hear Thee saying, “It is meet,” we hear Thee saying, “We should merry and be glad, “We should merry and be glad, I have found My once lost children, I have found My once lost children, Now they live who once were dead.” Now they live who once were dead.” “Abba, Father!” all adore Thee, “Abba, Father!” all adore Thee, All rejoice in Heav'n above, All rejoice in Heav'n above, While in us they learn the wonders While in us they learn the wonders Of Thy wisdom, grace, and love; Of Thy wisdom, grace, and love; Soon before Thy throne assembled, Soon before Thy throne assembled, All Thy children shall proclaim, All Thy children shall proclaim, “Glory, everlasting glory, “Glory, everlasting glory, Be to God and to the Lamb! Be to God and to the Lamb!
