Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751; William Cameron, 1751-1811 Hymnal: Together in Song #482 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Father of peace, and God of love,
we own your power to save -
that power by which our Shepherd rose
victorious o’er the grave.
2 Him from the dead you brought again,
when, by his sacred blood,
confirmed and sealed for evermore
the eternal covenant stood.
3 O may your Spirit seal our souls,
and mould them to your will,
that our weak hearts no more may stray,
but keep your 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 your eyes.
