Father of Peace and God of Love

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,
Ccnfirmed 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 precepts still;

that to perfection's sacred height
we nearer still may rise,
and all we think and all we do,
be pleasing in thine eyes.
