Verse 1
Father of peace, and God of love,
We own Thy power to save,
That power by which our Shepherd rose
Victorious o'er the grave.
Verse 2
Him from the dead Thou brought'st again,
When, by His sacred blood,
Confirmed and sealed for evermore
The eternal covenant stood.
Verse 3
O may Thy Spirit fill our souls,
And mould them to Thy will,
That our weak hearts no more may stray,
But keep Thy precepts still;
Verse 4
That to perfection's sacred height
We nearer still may rise,
And all we think, and all we do,
Be pleasing in Thine eyes.
