Father of Je­sus Christ, my Lord,
My Sav­ior and my head;
I trust in Thee, whose pow­er­ful Word
Hath raised Him from the dead.

In hope, against all hu­man hope,
Self des­per­ate, I be­lieve;
Thy quick­en­ing Word shall raise me up,
Thou shalt Thy Spir­it give.

Faith, migh­ty faith, the pro­mise sees,
And looks to that alone;
Laughs at im­pos­si­bi­li­ties,
And cries, It shall be done!

To Thee the glo­ry of Thy pow­er
And faith­ful­ness I give;
I shall in Christ, at that glad hour,
And Christ in me shall live.

Obedient faith that waits on Thee,
Thou ne­ver wilt re­prove;
But Thou wilt form Thy Son in me,
And per­fect me in love.
