70. Don't Forget the Father Loves You

1 Don’t forget the Father loves you, when your life is fill’d with care,
And its toil and burdens throng your weary way;
When the trials press upon you and the load is hard to bear,
Don’t forget the Father loves you ev’ry day.

Refrain:
Don’t forget the Father loves you, heavy heart, O don’t forget!
Let the fragrance of His mercies linger in your mem’ry yet;
In the furnace of affliction He will bring you forth as gold,
For He loves you with a tenderness untold.

2 Don’t forget the Father loves you, tho you’ve wander’d far away
From the shelter of the blessed Savior’s fold;
Ever ready to receive you, He will answer when you pray,
For He loves you with a tenderness untold. [Refrain]

3 Don’t forget the Father loves you; tho the flow’rs of earth may fade,
Yet the Rose of Sharon blossoms still, the same;
Can you doubt the great Creator loves the creatures He has made,
That a gracious Shepherd knows His sheep by name? [Refrain]

4 Don’t forget the Father loves you, tho you love your dearest friend
And must walk the tiresome journey all alone;
Just remember He has promis’d to be with you to the end;
Don’t forget the Father watches o’er His own. [Refrain]
