Almighty Father, Who Dost Give

Almighty Fa­ther

who dost give

The gift of life to all who live

Look down on all earth’s sin and strife

And lift us to a nob­ler life.

Lift up our hearts

O King of kings

To bright­er hopes and kind­li­er things;

To vi­sions of a larg­er good

And ho­li­er dreams of bro­ther­hood.

Thy world is wea­ry of its pain;

Of self­ish greed and fruit­less gain;

Of tar­nished hon­or

false­ly strong

And all its an­cient deeds of wrong.

Hear Thou the pray­er Thy serv­ants pray

Uprising from all lands to­day

And o’er the van­quished pow­ers of sin

O bring Thy great sal­va­tion in.
