Author: P. Dearmer Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #526 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Father, Who on man dost shower
Gifts of plenty from Thy dower,
To Thy people give the power
All Thy gifts to use aright.
2 Give pure happiness in leisure,
Temperance in every pleasure,
Holy use of earthly treasure,
Bodies clear and spirits bright.
3 Lift from this and every nation
All that brings us degradation;
Quell the forces of temptation;
Put Thine enemies to flight.
4 Be with us, Thy strength supplying,
That with energy undying,
Every foe of man defying,
We may rally to the fight.
5 Thou Who art our Captain, ever
Lead us on to great endeavour;
May Thy Church the world deliver,
Give us wisdom, courage, might.
6 Father, Who hast sought and found us,
Son of God, Whose love has bound us,
Holy Ghost, within us, round us,
Hear us, Godhead infinite. Topics: General Brotherhood, Service, Guilds, Parochial Missions Languages: English Tune Title: DEARMER
