All power, authority, and grace

Verse 1
All power, authority, and grace
Deliver’d to our Head,
He uses for the chosen race,
His true, believing seed:
The fulness of the Godhead dwells
In God’s incarnate Son,
And Christ to sinful men reveals,
And makes his Father known.

Verse 2
Jesus, Thou wou’dst of all mankind
The Friend and Saviour be,
Thou wou’dst that every soul should find
God reconcil’d in Thee:
And when thy bleeding love Thou show’st,
And dost to me impart,
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Resides within my heart.
