Author: James M. Gray Hymnal: The Voice of Thanksgiving #139 (1913) First Line: Father of mercies, when fear possessed me Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies, when fear possessed me,
Sin and its sorrows heavily pressed me,—
Heard Thou my cry, O Father,
Heard and delivered me!
Father of mercies, every day I praise Thee.
2 Saviour of sinners, Thou didst confess me,
And in Thine arms enfold and caress me;
Cleansed Thou my sin, O Saviour,
Cleansed and accepted me!
Saviour of sinners, every day I praise Thee.
3 Spirit of promise, when trials test me,
And of my peace temptations divest me,
Comfort Thou bringest, Spirit,
Comfort and strength to me!
Spirit of promise, every day I praise Thee. Tune Title: [Father of mercies, when fear possessed me]
Every Day I Praise Thee
