Divine Fellowship

By Llewellyn A. Morrison

"Our Father who art in heaven"

Here, where we are, in the way, is He reaching us, Down through the tumult of passion and flame; Faithfully, truly, and tenderly teaching us How we may know Him in truth and in name.

Refrain

Over and over this lesson He brings to me, Tho I forget Him and am so defiled; Here in the mist and the shadow He sings to me: "I am thy Father and thou art My child."

What does He mean by this message of love to us— Pardon, redemption, and cleansing from sin? Does He intend by this mercy to prove to us We may have healing and pureness within?

Refrain

Over and over the Spirit is wooing me Into the rapture of glory begun By the sweet incense of heaven pursuing me: "I am thy Father and thou art My son."

Groping for light? Then "our Father" is finding us Searching for Him and the infinite will. What tho the fog and the future are blinding us! We shall come up into liberty, still.

Refrain

Over and over by all things He calleth me; Here, in the pressures of time, we are one; He shareth ev'ry sore trial that befalleth me— He is my Father and I am His son.

We shall be trained by the burdens He sendeth us, Till, by the grace of the Son He did send, And the kind Spirit His comforting lendeth us, We shall go home unto Him at the end.

Refrain

Over and over the Word is revealing it: "I have redeemed thee, and bondage is done;" Strong as the boom of the sea is He peal- ing it: "I am thy Father and thou art My son."
