Author: Rev. L. Tuttiett, 1825- Hymnal: Hymnal, Amore Dei #17 (1890) Lyrics: Father, here we dedicate
All our days to Thee,
In whatever worldly state
Thou wilt have us be:
Not from sorrow, pain or care,
Would we freedom claim;
This alone shall be our prayer,
"Glorify Thy Name."
Can a child presume to choose
Where or how to live?
Can a Father's love refuse
All the best to give?
More Thou givest every day
Than the best can claim.
Nor withholdest aught that may
Glorify Thy Name.
If in mercy Thou wilt spare
Joys we yet partake;
If on life, serene and fair,
Brighter rays shall break:
Thee our hearts, while glad they sing,
Shall in all proclaim.
And whate'er the future brings,
Glorify Thy Name. Languages: English Tune Title: LLANFAIR
