Father of Peace, and God of Love

lyricist: Philip Doddrige (1702–1751)
Composer: Thomas Clark, 1807

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.

Him from the dead Thou brought’st again

When by His sac­red blood

Confirmed and sealed for­ev­er­more

Th’eter­nal co­ve­nant stood.

O may Thy Spir­it seal our souls

And mold them to Thy will

That our weak hearts no more may stray

But keep Thy co­ve­nant still.

That all we think and all we do

Be pleas­ing in Thy sight

Through Je­sus Christ

to whom be praise

In end­less glo­ry bright.
