1 Father of Jesus Christ, my Lord,

My Saviour, and my Head,
I trust in Thee, whose powerful word
Hath rais'd Him from the dead.
2 Thou know'st for my offence He died,
And rose again for me;
Fully and freely justified,
That I might live to Thee.
And rose again for me;
Fully and freely justified,
That I might live to Thee.
3 Eternal life to all mankind
Thou hast in Jesus given;
And all who seek, in Him, shall find
The happiness of heaven.
Thou hast in Jesus given;
And all who seek, in Him, shall find
The happiness of heaven.
4 Obedient faith, that waits on Thee,
Thou never wilt reprove;
But Thou wilt form Thy Son in me,
And perfect me in love.
Thou never wilt reprove;
But Thou wilt form Thy Son in me,
And perfect me in love.
