George W. Frazer, author of the first, second, and fourth stanzas published a total of sixteen hymns in his lifetime. Born in Ireland in 1840 as the son of a police investigator, Frazer later began working in the banking industry. At about age twenty, he was urged by his brother to hear the evangelist Grattan Guinnes in Dublin. Because of the crowds attending the meeting, Frazer and his brother were unable to enter the hall so they climbed the building to perch in an open window where they heard the message of the gospel. As a result of this evangelistic meeting and his subsequent conversion, Frazer eventually left his employment at the bank to commit his full attention to evangelism. A third stanza focusing on the work of the Holy Spirit appeared later and was written by Alfred S. Loizeaux (1877–1962)1. Enjoy this Trinitarian hymn!
God, our Father, we adore Thee!
We, Thy children, bless Thy name!
Chosen in the Christ before Thee,
we are “holy, without blame.”
We adore Thee! we adore Thee!
Abba’s praises we proclaim!
We adore Thee! we adore Thee!

Lamb of God, we bow before Thee,
Thou hast brought Thy people nigh!
We adore Thee! we adore Thee!
Son of God, who came to die!

Thou hast led us into rest.
We adore Thee! we adore Thee!
by Thy grace forever blest.
We adore Thee! we adore Thee!
