Author: F. E. Belden Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 103:13 Lyrics: 1 Like as a father pities his child,
So the Lord pities the sinner defiled;
Waiteth in kindness,
Pities our blindness,
Longeth to welcome, tho' often reviled.
2 Like as a father when we believe,
Merciful still, he will gladly receive;
Listens to hear us,
Blessed to cheer us,
Pities whenever his Spirit we grieve.
3 Like as a father, ever the same,
He that created, and knoweth our frame;
Watcheth the straying,
Guardeth the praying,
Bids us to trust in his almighty name.
4 Like as a father, constant is he,
God in compassion regardeth our plea;
In need he cometh,
Precious his promise:
Father in heaven forever to be. Topics: Bible Songs Invitation Used With Tune: LIKE AS A FATHER
