Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs ‎#58

58. "Abba, Father", words of mercy

1 "Abba, Father", words of mercy,
Words of comfort, words of love,--
Cov'ring all our needs and longings
Till we reach our home above!

2 Jesus prayed for us, O Father,
Ere He left this world of woe,--
Asking Thee to guard and keep us
Safely all our path below.

3 Holy Father--such His pleading--
Keep, O keep them in Thy name;--
As Thou lovdst Me, O Father,
Thou hast loved them the same.

4 Thus by God the Son committed
To the Father's tender care,
Thus by God the Father loved,
Can we doubt, or can we fear?
