C.M.

FATHER of peace, and God of love,

We won Thy power to save,

That power by which our Shepherd rose

Victorious o’er the grave.

2

Him from the dead Thou brought’st again,

When, by His sacred blood,

Confirmed and sealed forevermore,

Th’ eternal covenant stood.

3

Oh, may Thy Spirit seal our souls,

And mould them to Thy will,

That our weak hearts no more may stray,

But keep Thy precepts still.

4

That to perfection’s sacred height

We nearer still may rise;

And all we think, and all we do,

Be pleasing in Thine eyes.
