Tune:[Father of Lights, whose blessings]
Composer:Margaret Coote Brown

19. Father of Lights

1 Father of Lights, whose blessings
We cannot number o'er;
Giver of ev'ry perfect gift,
Thy name we do adore.

Chorus:
Father of Lights,
Shining above,
Help us to shine,
Help us to love.

2 Father of Lights, whose brightness
Outshines the stars, the sun;
Help us to walk in thy true light,
Until life's journey's done. [Chorus]

3 Father of Lights, who lightens
All worlds that move in space,
may we in thy bright home above
Find a sweet resting place. [Chorus]
