O Father Make Us Like the Son
"Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be,
but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is." (1 John 3:2)
O Father Make Us Like the Son
"Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be,
but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is." (1 John 3:2)
1. O Father, make us like the Son
That we may walk as He,
Delighting in the Law of God
And bringing praise to Thee.
2. Our Lord's great joy was loving God,
Obeying His commands.
He lived a holy, perfect life,
Fulfill'd the Law's demands.
3. O Father, clothe us in the Son
His righteousness we need
That we might be declared as "just"
From condemnation freed.
4. O Father, we adore the Son;
He is our righteousness!
For we can now obey with hearts
Of love and thankfulness.
5. O Father, may we love Thy Law
And walk within its light,
And love the Gospel that can turn
Its rigor to delight.
6. We long to be made like our Lord,
Arrayed in truth and grace,
And we long for the day when we
Shall see Him face to face.
7. O Father, finish in each heart
The work that was begun.
Prepare us for the Lord's return,
O make us like the Son!
