Lyrics
Father Most Holy
1. O Father, most holy, our Rock from of old,
Restore us your people in the love You unfold.
Reveal us the truth that your Son set us free
And bring us to worship, made righteous in Thee...,
Cause song to break forth,
Cause chains to be loosed,
Cause blind eyes to see,
To see Jesus our King.
2. O Jesus, Immanuel, You suffered our scorn,
And showed us the Father though we were prodigal born.
You took up our guilt and became for us sin
And bore it to death washing all of us clean,
Cause song to break forth,
Cause chains to be loosed,
Cause blind eyes to see,
To see Jesus our King.
3. O Spirit, Holy Fire, burn strong in our hearts
Convince us of freedom from all that is past.
Though many the arrows our conscience may bring,
You?ve sealed us for glory, how can we but sing,
Our song now breaks forth! But what of our chains?
Our chains are now loosed! But what of our sight?
Once blind we now see! But who do we see?
We see Jesus our King! His praises we sing.
