Author: Robert Bridges, 1844-1930 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #125 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Love of the Father, love of God the Son,
From whom all came, in whom was all begun;
Who formest heavenly beauty out of strife,
Creation’s whole desire and breath of life: A-men.
2 Thou the all-holy, thou supreme in might,
Thou dost give peace, thy presence maketh right;
Thou with thy favor all things dost enfold,
With thine all-kindness free from harm wilt hold.
3 Eternal glory, all men thee adore,
Who art and shalt be worshipped evermore:
Us whom thou madest, comfort with thy might,
And lead us to enjoy thy heavenly light.
Amen.
