Father, in Thy Mysterious Presence Kneeling

Father

in Thy mys­te­ri­ous pre­sence kneel­ing

Fain would our souls feel all Thy kind­ling love;

For we are weak

and need some deep re­veal­ing

Of trust and strength and calm­ness from above.

Lord

we have wan­dered forth through doubt and sor­row

And Thou hast made each step an on­ward one;

And we will ev­er trust each un­known mor­row;

Thou wilt sus­tain us till its work is done.

Now

Fa­ther

now in Thy dear pre­sence kneel­ing

Our spir­its yearn to feel Thy kind­ling love;

Now make us strong; we need Thy deep re­veal­ing

Of trust and strength and calm­ness from ab­ove.
