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;

But Thou wilt form Thy Son in me

And per­fect me in love.
