Father supreme, whose wondrous love
1
Father supreme, whose wondrous love
Our utmost thought so far exceeds,
We seek thy blessing from above,
A rich supply for all our needs.
2
On thee alone our hopes we rest,
To thee alone we lift our eyes;
Regard our prayer, though unexpressed,
Accept our spirit's sacrifice.
3
'T is not for present power or wealth,
Or worldly fame, we look to thee;
We ask thy gift of heavenly health,
The gift of immortality.
4
Fulfill in us thy faithful word,
Through Him who died to make it sure,—
Our Mercy-seat, our Righteousness,
Who lives again to die no more.
