1 Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the God of grace and peace we bless his name whose blessings still to earth and heaven increase. 2 Destined in love to be his own and all his plans fulfil, who more than we should celebrate the purpose of his will? 3 Freed by the blood of Christ, who once stood trial in our place, spurred on by love, should we not tell the riches of his grace? 4 Raised by our life-creating God, our hope, our rock and tower, believers find by surging strength the greatness of his power. 5 Stamped with the Holy Spirit's seal, our owner's mark and claim, by one ambition we are moved: the glory of his name. 6 God who in Christ poured out his heart, to us his mind made known he will in Christ, creation's Lord, bring all things into one.
