CCCXXV. The Christian perfected by divine Grace through CHRIST.

FATHER of Peace, and GOD of Love,
We own thy Pow'r to save;
That Pow'r, by which our Shepherd rose
Victorious o'er the Grave.

We triumph in that Shepherd's Name,
Still watchful for our Good;
Who brought th' eternal Cov'nant down,
And seal'd it with his Blood.

So may thy Spirit seal my Soul,
And mould it to thy Will;
That my fond Heart no more may stray,
But keep thy Cov'nant still.

Still may we gain superior Strength,
And press with Vigour on,
Till full Perfection crown our Hopes,
And fix us near thy Throne.
