Text: | Thou Who a Tender Father Art |
Tune: | NAOMI |
Arranger: | Lowell Mason |
Composer: | Johann Georg Nägeli |
1 Thou who a tender Father art,
Regard a parent's plea;
Our children with a parent's heart
We, Lord, commend to Thee.
2 Our children are our greatest care,
A charge which Thou hast given;
In all Thy graces let them share,
And all the joys of heaven.
3 If a centurion could succeed,
Who for his servant cried,
O grant us faith like his to plead
For those more near allied.
4 On us Thou hast bestowed Thy grace,
And ours, as Father kind,
And heaven is our dwelling place;
O leave not one behind!
5 Vouchsafe Thy blessing here below
For our remaining days,
And when to brighter worlds we go,
We'll give Thee endless praise.
Amen.
