God over all in power supream

Verse 1
God over all in power supream,
Thy Father doth thy sheep defend,
They never can be forc’d from Him
Who loves thy members to the end,
Who keeps the souls on Thee bestow’d
Th’ irrevocable gift of God.

Verse 2
Saviour, I in thy word confide,
Nothing throughout eternity
The Head and body shall divide,
Or tear my faithful soul from Thee,
Whom, by thy Spirit taught, I own
Forever with thy Father One.

Verse 3
One God in essence and in power
Mine utmost Saviour I proclaim,
The Father and the Son adore
From all eternity the same,
That I may one in spirit be
With God to all eternity.
