Father Whose Will Is Life and Good { Father Whose Will Is Life and Good by H. D. Rawnsley, 1851-1920 STOERL-Johann G. Chr. Stoerl TALLIS' ORDINAL-Thomas Tallis NUN DANKET ALL-Johann Cruger, Praxis Pietatis Mel ica, 1653 Father, Whose Will Is Life and Good } Father, Whose will is life and good For all of mortal breath, Bind strong the bond of brotherhood Of those who fight with death. Empower the hands and hearts and wills Of friends both near and far, Who battle with the body's ills, And wage Thy holy war. Where'er they heal the maimed and blind, Let love of Christ attend: Proclaim the Good Physician's mind, And prove the Saviour friend. O Father, look from heaven and bless, Where'er Thy servants be, Their works of pure unselfishness, Made consecrate to Thee. Amen.
