Lyrics
Father, the hour is come;
Glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
As thou hast given him power o'er flesh,
That he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
And this is life eternal,
That they may know thee
The only true God,
And Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
Thee have I glorified thee on earth:
Finished all the the work,
All the work which thou gavest me to do.
Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
I have made know thy name to
The men thou gavest me of the world:
Theyre thine, and thou gavest them me;
And they have kept thy word.
Now they have known that all things
Thou hast given me
Are of thee. For I have given unto them
Given words which thou gavest me;
And they have received them,
And know surely that I came out from thee,
And they've believed thou sent me.
I pray for them: I pray not for the world,
But for them which thou hast given me;
For they are thine. And all mine are thine,
And thine are mine;
And I am glorified in them.
Instrumental
And now I am no more in the world,
But these are in the world,
And I come to thee.
Holy Father,
Keep through thine own name those whom thou gavest me,
That they may be one as thee, while I was with them
In the world,
I kept them in thy name:
Those that thou hast gave
And none of them is lost, but the son of perdition;
That the scripture be fulfilled.
And now come I to thee; and these things
I speak of in the world,
That they might have joy
Joy fulfilled.
I have given them thy word; and so
The world hath hated them,
Because they are not
Of the world,
Even as I'm not
I'm not of the world.
I pray not that thou takes them,
But thou shouldest keep them
Keep them from the evil one.
They're not of the world, as I'm not.
Sanctify them through thy truth:
Thy word is truth.
As thou hast sent me to the world,
So into the world have I also sent them.
For their sakes I sanctify myself,
Then they also might be sanctified through the truth.
Neither pray I for these alone,
Also for believers in me.
That they be one; as we are
And also may be one in us:
So that the world may believe that
Thou hast sent me.
And the glory thou gave
I have given them;
That they may be one, even as we are one:
I in them, and thou in me,
That they may be made perfect, yes, in one;
So the world may know that thou sent me,
And hast loved them, as thou loves me.
Father, my will they be with me
That they may see my glory, thou gave:
For thou loved me before the foundation of the world.
O righteous Father,
The world hath not known thee:
But I have known thee,
And these have known that thou hast sent me.
And I've declared unto them
Thy name, and will declare it:
That the love wherewith thou hast loved me
May be in them, and I in them.
