Father in heaven

Father in heaven,
grant to your children
mercy and blessing,
songs never ceasing,
love to unite us,
grace to redeem us;
Father in heaven,
Father, our God.

2. Jesus, Redeemer,
may we remember
your gracious passion,
your resurrection;
worship we bring you,
praise we shall sing you;
Jesus, Redeemer,
Jesus our Lord.

3. Spirit descending,
whose is the blessing,
strength for the weary,
help for the needy;
sealed in our sonship,
yours be our worship;
Spirit descending,
Spirit adored.
