Father of heaven, whose love profound (II) by John Bacchus Dykes — Lyrics
Father of heaven, whose love profound
a ransom for our souls hath found,
before thy throne we sinners bend,
to us thy pardoning love extend.
Almighty Son, incarnate Word,
our Prophet, Priest, Redeemer, Lord,
before thy throne we sinners bend,
to us thy saving grace extend.

About Father of heaven, whose love profound (II)
This hymn setting is ideal for services of penitence and intercession. The text, a profound meditation on the Trinity and God's redemptive love, lends itself to thoughtful performance. John Bacchus Dykes's SATB arrangement provides a rich harmonic setting for the English words, expressing the choir's prayer for pardon and grace. It is a solemn and moving piece, suitable for liturgical occasions where reflection on the divine nature and its work of salvation is central.
