Father of all
to Thee
With loving hearts we pray
Through Him
in mercy given
The Life
the Truth
the Way;
From Heav’n
Thy throne
in mercy shed
Thy blessings on each bended head.
Father of all
to Thee
Our contrite hearts we raise
Unstrung by sin and pain
Long voiceless in Thy praise;
Breathe Thou the silent chords along
Until they tremble into song.
Father of all
to Thee
We breathe unuttered fears
Deep hidden in our souls
That have no voice but tears;
Take Thou our hand
and through the wild
Lead gently each trustful child.
Father of all
may we
In praise our tongues employ
When gladness fills the soul
With deep and hallowed joy;
In storm and calm give us to see
The path of peace which leads to Thee.
