Religion

Father, God, we glorify
Thy love to Adam's seed,
Love that gave Thy Son to die,
And raised Him from the dead;
Him for our offences slain,
That we all might pardon find,
Thou hast brought to life again,
The Saviour of mankind.
By Thy own right hand of power
Thou hast exalted Him,
Sent the mighty Conqueror
Thy people to redeem;
King of saints, and Prince of peace,
Him Thou hast to sinners given,
Sinners from their sins to bless,
And lift them up to heaven.
Father, God, to us impart
The gift unspeakable;
Now in every waiting heart
Thy glorious Son reveal:
Quicken'd with our living Lord
Let us in Thy Spirit rise,
Rise to all Thy life restored,
And thank Thee in the skies.
