Father supreme, whose wondrous love
1
Father supreme, whose wondrous loveOur 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.
