236. O gracious Father! God of love

1 O gracious Father! God of Love,
We own Thy pow'r to save,--
That pow'r 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 for evermore,
Th' eternal cov'nant stood.

3 O may Thy Spirit guide our souls,
And mould 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
We nearer still may rise,
And all we think, and all we do,
Be pleasing in Thine eyes.
