By A Collection of Hymns

      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.
