Grant us, O our heavenly Father

Author: Rev. Godfrey Thring Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #574 (1894) Meter: 8.7 Lyrics: 1 Grant us, O our heavenly Father, In the dawning of our days, Thee in all things to remember, Thee to serve, and Thee to praise. 2 With the cross of Christ, our Saviour, Stamped upon our infant brows, May we in the battle's dawning Heed His word, and keep our vows. 3 Then in Holy Confirmation, By the laying on of hands, Strength may we receive, and blessing, To obey our Lord's commands. 4 Drawing nearer still and nearer, May we close and closer cling To our Lord, and to His altar There ourselves an offering bring. 5 Step by step in life advancing, Onward, upward, as we move Through the world unharmed, rejoicing In His all-redeeming love: 6 Blest in joy, upheld in sorrow, At our work as in His sight, May His presence still be with us, As we do it with our might. 7 Serving Thee, our heavenly Father, From the dawn to set of sun, Serving Thee in life's young morning, Till our work on earth is done: 8 Till the shadows of the evening Shall forever pass away, And the Resurrection-morning Kindle into perfect day. Amen. Topics: For Children Languages: English Tune Title: [Grant us, O our heavenly Father]

Author: Godfrey Thring Hymnal: Gloria Deo #646 (1901) Meter: 8.7 Lyrics: 1 Grant us, O our heavenly Father, Now in these our early days, Thee in all things to remember, Thee to serve and Thee to praise. 2 Drawing nearer still and nearer, May we close and closer cling To our Lord and to His altar There ourselves an off’ring bring. 3 Blest in joy, upheld in sorrow, At our work as in his sight, May His presence still be with us As we do it with our might. 4 Serving Thee, our Heavenly Father, From the dawn to setting sun, Serving Thee in life’s young morning, Till our work on earth is done. 5 Till the shadows of the evening Shall forever pass away, And the Resurrection morning Kindle into perfect day.
