Father of all, with praise
1 Father of all, with praise
and thanks to you we come,
for though our sins had driven us far
your love has brought us home.
2 Your Son has given us grace
and changed our sorry state;
his death and life provide the key
to open glory's gate.
3 This bread and wine we share:
Christ's body we receive,
we drink his cup and humbly seek
his risen life to live.
4 May Christ's own Spirit flood
the darkened world with light
and keep us strong in Christian hope
and make our witness bright.
5 So shall the earth be free,
the earth to which Christ came,
and all your children join to bless
your great and holy name.
