356. A holy Father's constant care

1 A holy Father's constant care
Keeps watch, with an unwearying eye,
To see what fruits His children bear--
Fruits that may suit their calling high;

2 Take ever knowledge of our state,
What dims communion with His love,
Might check our growth, or separate
Our hearts from what's revealed above.

3 O wondrous love! that ne'er foregets
The objects of its tender care;
May chasten still, while sin besets,
To sarn and guard them where they are:

4 Yet ne'er forgets, but feeds them still
With tokens of His tender love;
Will keep till, freed from every ill,
Thy find their rest with Him above.
