Representative Text

1 Father hear, Father hear,
As Thy children bow before Thee,
Be Thou near, be Thou near,
Send Thy light on Thy word divine.

Refrain:
Hear our pray’r, hear our pray’r,
Father O hear us, hear Thou our pray’r.

2 May we heed, may we heed,
As we learn Thy lessons holy,
Do Thou lead, do Thou lead,
In the way of Thy truth divine. [Refrain]

3 Living bread, living bread,
Break Thou unto us we pray Thee,
Souls are fed, souls are fed,
Evermore by Thy word divine. [Refrain]
