1 Father of peace, and God of love! we own Thy power to save, that power by which our Shepherd rose victorious o’er the grave. 2 Him from the dead Thou brought’st, when, by his sacred blood, confirmed and sealed forevermore the 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 your precepts still; 4 That to perfection's sacred height we nearer still may rise, and all we think, and all we do, be pleasing in Thine eyes.
