C.M. Romans iv. 13, &c. 1 FATHER of Jesus Christ, my Lord, My Saviour, and my Head, I trust in thee, whose powerful word Hath raised him from the dead.
2 Thou know'st for my offence he died, And rose again for me, Fully and freely justified, That I might live to thee.
3 Eternal life to all mankind Thou hast in Jesus given; And all who seek, in him shall find The happiness of heaven.
4 O God! thy record I believe, In Abraham's footsteps tread; And wait, expecting to receive, The Christ, the promised seed.
5 Faith in thy power thou seest I have, For thou this faith hast wrought; Dead souls thou callest from their grave, And speakest worlds from nought.
6 Things that are not, as though they were, Thou callest by their name; Present with thee the future are, With thee, the great I AM.
7 In hope, against all human hope, Self-desperate, I believe; Thy quickening word shall raise me up, Thou shalt thy Spirit give.
8 The thing surpasses all my thought, But faithful is my Lord; Through unbelief I stagger not, For God hath spoke the word.
9 Faith, mighty faith, the promise sees, And looks to that alone; Laughs at impossibilities, And cries, It shall be done!
10 To thee the glory of thy power And faithfulness I give; I shall in Christ, in that glad hour, And Christ in me shall live.
11 Obedient faith, that waits on thee, Thou never wilt reprove: But thou wilt form thy Son in me, And perfect me in love.
