Father of All, to Thee

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.
