My Father's care
Author: H. L. G. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: There's not a bird that wings its flight Lyrics: 1 There's not a bird that wings its flight,
Nor lily blooms to ravish sight,
But in the song and perfume rare
An echo whispers, Father's care.
Refrain:
My Father's care, my Father's care,
Oh, blessed thought, without compare!
Those watchful eyes, that sparrows see.
Will ne'er forget a child like me.
2 There's not a blade of grass that springs,
Or feathered orchestra that sings,
But praises God, in earth and air,
For daily bread, for Father s care. [Refrain]
3 There's not an eagle cleaves the sky.
With stalwart wing and flashing eye,
But from his fortress high in air
Re-echoes back, my Father's care. [Refrain]
4 There's not a soul, however vile,
On whom the Saviour will not smile,
And now invites to gospel fare,
To grace bestowed, and Father's care. [Refrain]
5 There's not a soul who's born of God,
Has peace and pardon through the blood,
But in the hour of dark despair
Finds comfort, joy, in Father's care. [Refrain]
6 Speak forth, O flower, divinely clad,
And happy bird, with twitter glad,
And soul redeemed, boldly declare
We cannot doubt our Father's care. [Refrain]
