EN 1768 O Father, All Creating

Ps.127.1

Versi Version 1

1

O Father, all creating,

Whose wisdom, love, and power

First bound two lives together

In Eden’s primal hour,

Today to these Thy children

Thine earliest gifts renew,

A home by Thee made happy,

A love by Thee kept true.

2

O Savior, Guest most bounteous

Of old in Galilee,

Vouchsafe today Thy presence

With these who call on Thee;

Their store of earthly gladness

Transform to heavenly wine,

And teach them, in the tasting,

To know the gift is Thine.

3

O Spirit of the Father,

Breathe on them from above,

So mighty in Thy pureness,

So tender in Thy love;

That, guarded by Thy presence,

From sin and strife kept free,

Their lives may own Thy guidance,

Their hearts be ruled by Thee.

4

Except Thou build it, Father,

The house is built in vain;

Except Thou, Savior, bless it,

The joy will turn to pain;

But naught can break the union

Of hearts in Thee made one;

And love Thy Spirit hallows

Is endless love begun.
