Father, Loving Father

Father, loving Father,

Hear Thy children's call;

With Thy love enfold us,

And protect us all.

From the dawn's first glimmer,

To the close of day

May we feel Thee near us

On our earthly way.

And from evening prayer time

Through the dark of night,

Let us rest in quietness

Until morn brings light.

Teach our tongues to praise Thee

In the hymns we sing;

Teach our hearts to love Thee

As our voices ring.
