1. My Father reigns eternal,
Omnipotent is he,
O'er heav'n and earth triumphant,
Time and eternity.
All things by him created,
He notes with watchful eye,
Each object he has fashioned,
On earth or sea or sky.

REFRAIN.

Omnipotent is he,
O'er heav'n and earth triumphant,
Time and eternity.

2. My Father loves his children,
He loves them great or small,
And guides in tender pity,
Whose eye is over all;
He sees our joys and triumphs,
He feels our grief and pain,
His hand dispels the shadows,
Till earth is bright again.

REFRAIN.

3. My Father dwells in glory,
And mansions bright await
His faithful, trusting children,
Who enter soon or late;
And in his heavenly kingdom,
His praises we would tell,
For he hath crowned with blessings
His people loved so well.

REFRAIN.
