My Father Blessed Me

Author: Thomas MacKellar Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12137 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: My father raised his trembling hand Lyrics: 1 My father raised his trembling hand, And placed it on my head: "God’s blessing be on thee, my son!" Most tenderly he said. 2 He died, and left no gems nor gold, But still was I his heir— For that rich blessing which he gave Became a fortune rare. 3 And in my day of weary toil To earn my daily bread, It gladdens me in thought to feel His hand upon my head. 4 Though infant tongues to me have said "Dear father!" oft since then, Yet when I bring that scene to mind, I’m but a child again.
