| Composer: | Guillaume Franc |
1 Father supreme, whose wondrous love
Our utmost thought so far exceeds,
We seek thy blessing from above,
A rich supply for all our needs.
2 On thee alone our hopes we rest,
To thee alone we lift our eyes;
Regard our prayer, though unexpressed,
Accept our spirit's sacrifice.
3 'Tis not for present power or wealth,
Or worldly fame, we look to thee;
We ask thy gift of heavenly health,
The gift of immortality.
4 Fulfil in us thy faithful word,
Through Him who died to make it sure,
Our Mercy-seat, our Righteousness,
Who lives again to die no more.
