Hymns of the Greek Church ‎#23

23. Far from Thy heavenly care

Far from Thy heavenly care,
Lord, I have gone astray;
And all the wealth Thou gav’st to me,
Have cast away.

Now from a broken heart,
In penitence sincere,
I lift my prayer to Thee, O Lord,
In mercy hear.

And in Thy blest abode
Give me a servant’s place,
That I, a son, may learn to own
A Father’s grace.
