“THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH.”
Col. ii. 19.
Head of the Church, our risen Lord!
Who by Thy Spirit dost preside
O'er the whole body; by whose word
They all are ruled and sanctified!
Who by Thy Spirit dost preside
O'er the whole body; by whose word
They all are ruled and sanctified!
Our prayers and intercessions hear
For all thy family at large;
That each, in his appointed sphere,
His proper service may discharge.
For all thy family at large;
That each, in his appointed sphere,
His proper service may discharge.
So, through the grace derived from Thee,
In whom all fulness dwells above,
May Thy whole Church united be,
And edify itself in love.
In whom all fulness dwells above,
May Thy whole Church united be,
And edify itself in love.
