16. Like as a Father

1 “Like as a father,” this is our song;
“Like as a father,” so tender and strong.
Full of compassion, God on His throne,
“Like as a father,” pities His own.

Chorus:
Never a moment but He is near;
Never a heart-cry but He will hear.
Matchless in goodness, God on His throne,
“Like as a father,” cares for His own.

2 “Like as a father,” strong in His arm.
He will protect all His children from harm;
Shield them from danger, keep them each hour,
Matchless in goodness, boundless in pow’r. [Chorus]

3 “Like as a father,” guiding in love.
On thro’ the world-maze to glory above.
Never a moment are we alone.
He, like a father, cares for His own. [Chorus]
