Author: Florence E. Blocher Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O heav’nly Father, hear my prayer Refrain First Line: Teach me to know and do Thy will Lyrics: 1 O heav’nly Father, hear my prayer,
Offered in faith to Thee;
In every trial that I bear,
Wilt Thou my refuge be?
Refrain:
Teach me to know and do Thy will,
And Thy commands obey;
Help me my duty to fulfill,
And trust Thee day by day.
2 Reclaim me when I go astray,
My sins and faults forgive;
And help me to Thy cause each day
Some humble service give. [Refrain]
3 Give me not wealth nor poverty,
Thy love to me impart;
This grant, whate’er my lot may be,
A wise, contented heart. [Refrain] Used With Tune: VERACRUZ Text Sources: Chiming Voices by James H. Rosecrans and J. T. Toof (New York: Asa Hull, 1893)
