Author: Rev. Theodore Parker Hymnal: The Hymnal #174 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 O Thou great Friend to all the sons of men, Who once appeared in humblest guise below, Sin to rebuke, to break the captive’s chain, And call Thy brethren forth from want and woe, 2 Thee would I sing: Thy truth is still the light Which guides the nations groping on their way, Stumbling and falling in disastrous night, Yet hoping ever for the perfect day. 3 Yes, Thou art still the Life; Thou art the Way The holiest know— Light, Life, and Way of heaven; And they who dearest hope and deepest pray Toil by the truth, life, way, which Thou hast given. Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Living Presence; Brotherhood; Christ Abiding with Believers; Christ Presence, His Living; International Peace; Peace, International Tune Title: LANGRAN
