Father supreme, whose wondrous love

1Father supreme, whose wondrous love
Our utmost thought so far exceeds,
We seek thy blessing from above,
A rich supply for all our needs.

2On thee alone our hopes we rest,
To thee alone we lift our eyes;
Regard our prayer, though unexpressed,
Accept our spirit's sacrifice.

3'T is not for present power or wealth,
Or worldly fame, we look to thee;
We ask thy gift of heavenly health,
The gift of immortality.

4Fulfill in us thy faithful word,
Through Jesus Christ our Saviour,—
Our Mercy-seat, our Righteousness,
Who lives again to die no more.
