Father, Who Art Alone

Father

who art alone

Our help­er and our stay;

O hear us! as we plead

For loved ones far away;

And shield with Thine al­migh­ty hand

Our wan­der­ers by sea and land.

O com­pass with Thy love

The dai­ly path they tread!

And may Thy light and truth

Upon their hearts be shed;

That

one in all things with Thy will

Heav’n’s peace and joy their souls may fill.

Guard them from ev­ery harm

When dan­gers shall as­sail

And teach them that Thy pow­er

Can nev­er

nev­er fail;

We can­not with our loved ones be

But trust them

Fa­ther

un­to Thee.
