Father Of Jesus Christ, My Lord

Father of Jesus Christ, my Lord,

My Savior and my Head;

I trust in Thee, whose powerful Word

Hath raised Him from the dead.

In hope, against all human hope,

Self desperate, I believe;

Thy quickening Word shall raise me up,

Thou shalt Thy Spirit give.

Faith, mighty faith, the promise sees,

And looks to that alone;

Laughs at impossibilities,

And cries, "It shall be done!"

To Thee the glory of Thy power

And faithfulness I give;

I shall in Christ, at that glad hour,

And Christ in me shall live.

Obedient faith that waits on Thee,

Thou never wilt reprove;

Bt Thou wilt form Thy Son in me,

And perfect me in love.
