Text: | God our Father |
Translator: | C. Winkworth |
1 Here I can firmly rest;
I dare to boast of this,
That God, the highest and the best,
My Friend and Father is.
2 Naught have I of my own,
Naught in the life I lead;
What Christ hath given, that alone
I dare in faith to plead.
3 I rest upon the ground
Of Jesus and his blood;
It is through him that I have found
My soul's eternal good.
4 At cost of all I have,
At cost of life and limb,
I cling to God who yet shall save;
I will not turn from him.
5 His Spirit in me dwells,
O'er all my mind he reigns;
My care and sadness he dispels,
And soothes away my pains.
6 He prospers day by day
His work within my heart,
Till I have strength and faith to say,
"Thou, God, my Father art!"
