O God, Thou Art the Father

lyricist: Columba (521–597)
Composer: Samuel Wesley, 1864

O God

Thou art the Fa­ther

Of all that have be­lieved;

From whom all hosts of an­gels

Have life and pow­er re­ceived.

O God

Thou art the Mak­er

Of all cre­at­ed things

The right­eous Judge of judges

Th’al­migh­ty King of kings.

High in the hea­v’n­ly Zi­on

Thou reign­est God ad­ored;

And in the com­ing glo­ry

Thou shalt be sov­er­eign Lord.

Beyond our ken Thou shin­est

The ev­er­last­ing Light;

Ineffable in lov­ing

Unthinkable in might.

Thou to the meek and low­ly

Thy sec­rets dost un­fold;

O God

Thou do­est all things

All things both new and old.

I walk se­cure and bless­èd

In ev­ery clime or coast

In name of God the Fa­ther

And Son

and Ho­ly Ghost.
