Father in Heaven, We Do Believe

 


Lyrics

  1. 1. Father in Heav’n, we do believe

    The promise thou hast made;

    Thy word with meekness we receive,

    Just as thy Saints have said.

  2. 2. We now repent of all our sin

    And come with broken heart,

    And to thy covenant enter in

    And choose the better part.

  3. 3. O Lord, accept us while we pray,

    And all our sins forgive;

    New life impart to us this day,

    And bid the sinners live.

  4. 4. Humbly we take the sacrament

    In Jesus’ blessed name;

    Let us receive thru covenant

    The Spirit’s heav’nly flame.

  5. 5. We will be buried in the stream

    In Jesus’ blessed name,

    And rise, while light shall on us beam

    The Spirit’s heav’nly flame.

  6. 6. Baptize us with the Holy Ghost

    And seal us as thine own,

    That we may join the ransomed host

    And with the Saints be one.
