Trinity Hymnal ‎#98

98. Father of peace, and God of love

1 Father of peace, and God of love,
We own thy pow'r to save,
That pow'r by which our 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 covenant stood.

3 O may thy Spirit seal our souls,
And mould them to thy will,
That our weak hearts no more may stray,
But keep thy cov'nant still;

4 That all we think and all we do
Be pleasing in thy sight,
Through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise
In endless glory bright.

Amen.
