|
| 1 | O gracious Father! God of love, | Psalm 86:15; 2 Corinthians 13:11; 1 Corinthians 1:21; Hebrews 13:20 |
| We own Thy power to save, |
| That power by which the Shepherd rose |
| Victorious o'er the grave. |
|
| 2 | Him from the dead Thou brought'st again, |
| When, by His sacred blood, |
| Confirmed and sealed forevermore, |
| Th' eternal cov'nant stood. |
|
| 3 | Oh may Thy Spirit guide our souls, | John 16:13; John 14:23 |
| And mold them to Thy will, |
| That from Thy paths we ne'er may stray, |
| But keep Thy precepts still! |
|
| 4 | That to the Saviour's stature full | Ephesians 4:13; Colossians 3:17 |
| We nearer still may rise, |
| And all we think, and all we do |
| Be pleasing in Thine eyes. |
