207. Now May the God of Peace and Love

C.M.
by T. Gibbons
1
Now may the God of peace and love,
 
Who from the silent grave
 
Brought back the Shepherd of the sheep,
 
Omnipotent to save — 
2
Through the rich merits of that blood
 
Which He on Calvary spilt,
 
To make the gracious work secure,
 
On which our hopes are built — 
3
Perfect our souls in every grace,
 
To do His blessèd will,
 
And all that’s pleasing in His sight
 
Inspire us to fulfill.
4
For His, the risen Shepherd’s sake,
 
We every blessing pray;
 
With glory let His name be crowned
 
Through heaven’s eternal day.
