God a Father. Jer. 31. 9; 2 Thess. 2. 16, 17

1 God is a Father, just and wise,
  And reigns enthroned above the skies;
  Yet all his saints on earth shall know,
  He condescends to dwell below.

2 He’ll make his sons and daughters wise,
  And teach them all his ways to prize;
  He’ll lead them forth with love and power,
  And save them in a trying hour.

3 To them he will his secrets tell,
  And save them from the power of hell;
  And when they leave this world of woe,
  He’ll take them all to glory too.
