Father of Mercy { Father of Mercy by F. J. Moore, 1935 FATHER, O HEAR US-George Frederick Handel ST. ELISABETH-Silesian melody, publ. Leipzig, 184 2 Father of Mercy } Father of mercy, Lover of all children, Who in their form didst send thy Son; Gladly we bless thee, humbly we pray thee, For all the children of the earth. In thy compassion, Helper of the helpless, Tend them in sickness, ease their pain, Heal their diseases, lighten their sorrows, And from all evil keep them free. Power and blessing Grant us now and ever, Who fain would serve them in thy Name; May all our labor, crowned by thy favor, Bear fruit eternal unto thee. Amen.
