Tune: | [We bow our knees unto the Father] |
Composer: | James McGranahan |
1 We bow our knees unto the Father
Of Christ the Lord of earth and heaven,
That riches of His grace and glory
And pow’r for service may be given.
Refrain:
We are waiting for the promise of the Father—
For the Holy Spirit’s power;
O our Father, for Thy Spirit we are waiting,
even now, this very hour.
2 O fill the inward man with power,
As Christ within our hearts doth dwell;
Our root in Him tho’ storms may lower,
Victorious love we still shall tell. [Refrain]
3 The love that passeth knowledge give us,
Its height and depth and breadth and length;
Abundantly beyond our asking,
Beyond our thought give us Thy strength. [Refrain]
4 Thy pow’r it is that worketh in us,
O multiply it here today,
And Christ, our Lord, shall have the glory
Within His church thro’ endless day. [Refrain]
