Father of All to Thee
{ Father of All to Thee VIA PACIS-Sir Joseph Barnby WARSAW-Thomas Clark Father of All, to Thee } Father of all, to Thee With loving hearts we pray, Through Him, in mercy given, The Life, the Truth, the Way; From Heav'n, Thy Throne, in mercy shed Thy blessings on each bended head. Father of all, to Thee Our contrite hearts we raise, Unstrung by sin and pain, Long voiceless in Thy praise; Breathe Thou the silent chords along, Until they tremble into song. Father of all, to Thee We breathe unutter'd fears, Deep-hidden in our souls, That have no voice but tears; Take Thou our hand, and through the wild Lead gently on each trustful child. Father of all, may we In praise our tongues employ, When gladness fills the soul With deep and hallow'd joy; In storm and calm give us to see The path of peace which leads to Thee. |
