63. O Father, Faithful God, to Thee

1 O Father, faithful God, to Thee
Thro’ all my life I’ll faithful be!
Temptation may my heart assail,
Oh! may Thy grace o’er all prevail.

2 O Jesus, Son of God, to Thee
My life shall all devoted be!
Oh, may I constant aye remain,
‘Neath every cross, in every pain.

3 O Holy spirit, strength bestow,
And guide me on my path below!
Light, strength, and comfort come from Thee;
Praise God, the blessed Trinity.
