ENGLISH LYRICS: Father of Heaven, whose love profound

There the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for ever more. Ps.138:3

1.   Father of Heaven, whose love profound,
     A ransom for our souls hath found,
     Before thy throne we sinners bend,
     To us thy pard'ning love extend.

2. Almighty Son, Incarnate Word,
    Our Prophet, Priest, redeemer, Lord,
    Before Thy throne we sinners bend,
    To us thy saving grace extend.

3. Eternal spirit, by whose breath
    The soul from sin and death released,
    Before thy throne we sinners bend,
    To us thy quick'ning pow'r extend

4. Almighty Father, Spirit, Son;
    Mysterious Godhead, Three in One,
    Before Thy throne we sinners bend,
    Grace, pardon, life, to us extend.

Amen.
