Holy Father, Thou Hast Given

Holy Fa­ther

Thou hast giv­en

Holy truth from high­est Heav­en;

Words of coun­sel wise and pure

Words of pro­mise bright and sure;

Light that guides us back to Thee

Back to peace and pur­ity.

Clearer than the sun at noon

Fairer than the sil­ver moon

Through the clouds and through the night

Ever shines this heav­en­ly light;

Help us

Lord

to lift our eyes

Take its guid­ance and be wise.

Here the wis­dom from above

Beaming ho­li­ness and love

Kindling hope

dis­pell­ing fear

Shines to save; for Christ is here:

Knowing

trust­ing Him

we come

From our wan­der­ings glad­ly home.

Blessèd Sav­ior

Light di­vine

Thou hast bid us rise and shine;

Grant Thy grace

and we shall be

Children of the day in Thee

Showing all around the road

Back to life

and love

and God.
