Out of the darkening sin
’Mid foes without
within
I would the way begin
Father
to Thee.
Out of the fear and doubt
Amid the strife without
I would my hands reach out
Father
to Thee.
Out of the gloom and woe
Of toilsome love below
Oh
let my spirit go
Father
to Thee.
Hear Thou this feeble prayer
Do Thou the way prepare
And take me over there
Father
to Thee.
