93. O God, Thou Art the Father

1 O God, Thou art the Father
Of all that have believed:
From whom all hosts of angels
Have life and power received.
O God, Thou art the Maker
Of all created things,
The righteous Judge of judges,
Th' almighty King of kings.

2 High in the heavenly Zion
Thou reignest God adored;
And in the coming glory
Thou shalt be Sovereign Lord.
Beyond our ken Thou shinest,
The everlasting Light;
Ineffable in loving,
Unthinkable in might.

3 Thou to the meek and lowly
Thy secrets dost unfold;
O God, Thou doest all things,
All things both new and old.
I walk secure and blessed
In every clime or coast,
In name of God the Father,
And Son, and Holy Ghost.

Amen.
