386. Lord God, Who Art My Father Dear

1 Lord God, who art my Father dear,
I pray in Jesus' name: O hear
What, trusting in His promised Word,
I humbly ask of Thee, good Lord.

2 Grant us Thy Word, Thy Spirit give,
That by His grace we godly live;
Give shelter, peace, good friends, and food,
Protect our native land, O God.

3 Save us from sin and Satan's fraud,
Deliver us from evil, God,
Be with us in our dying hour;
Thine is the kingdom, glory, pow'r.

4 Lord, at thy word, Amen I say;
Increase my feeble faith, I pray.
Thou lead'st me with a Father's care;
O let me be thy child and heir!
