By A Collection of Hymns
C.M. Luke xi. 2.
1 FATHER of me, and all mankind,
And all the hosts above,
Let every understanding mind
Unite to praise thy love;
2 To know thy nature, and thy name,
One God in Persons Three;
And glorify the great I AM,
Through all eternity.
3 Thy kingdom come, with power and grace,
To every heart of man;
Thy peace, and joy, and righteousness
In all our bosoms reign.
4 The righteousness that never ends,
But makes an end of sin;
The joy that human thought transcends,
Into our souls bring in;
5 The kingdom of established peace,
Which can no more remove;
The perfect power of godliness,
The omnipotence of love.
