155. O Thou, of God the Father

O Thou, of God the Father
The true Eternal Son,
Of thom 'tis surely written
That Thou with Him art one;
Thou art the bright and Morning Star,
Behond all other radiance
Thy glory streams afar.

O let us in Thy knowledge
And in Thy love increase,
That we in faith be steadfast
And serve Thee here in peace;
That so Thy sweetness may be known
To these cold hearts, and teach them
To thirst for Thee alone.

Maker of all! Who showest
The Father's love and might,
In heaven and earth Thou reignest
Of Thine own power and right;
So rule our hearts and minds, that we
Be wholly Thine, and never
May turn aside from Thee!
