I ask you not to lose heart,
Over any suffering;
Which is glory to impart,
For Christ is your buffering.
This is why I bow my knees,
Unto God our Father;
While stating all my pleas,
Through Jesus our Brother.
As every family,
In Heaven also on earth;
Are to be named willfully,
Even before their real birth.
He may grant strengthened power,
Unto you through His Spirit;
The Father will endower,
Through what you will inherit.
So, Christ may dwell in your heart,
Through faith rooted in deep love;
That motivation will start,
From nourishment from above.
He gives strength to comprehend,
With all the saints of the breadth;
With wisdom that will defend,
Through every living breath.
For knowing the love of Christ,
That surpasses all wisdom;
The knowledge to be enticed,
For entering His Kingdom.
It is the fullness of God,
That someone must become filled;
When you do honor and laud,
Then you will become instilled.
To do more abundantly,
Than all that we think to ask;
Never work reluctantly,
Willingly perform the task.
For the glory of the church,
In Christ Jesus all throughout;
That all generations search,
Letting their faith have no doubt.
A love that is surpassing,
All knowledge and all wisdom,
Never to be trespassing,
For entering His Kingdom.
