Faith of Our Fathers

O

Love that will not let me go,

I rest my weary soul in thee;

I give thee back the life I

owe, that in

thine ocean depths its flow may richer, fuller

be. O Light that followest all my way, I yield my flickering torch to thee;

my heart restores its borrowed ray,

that in thy sunshine's blaze its day may brighter, fairer be.

The church's one foundation is Jesus Christ, our Lord; she is his new creation, by water and the Word: the heavenly grace and slaughter beautifully bright, with his own blood

he bought her, and for her life he died.
