The Cyber Hymnal ‎#12016

12016. Father! I Go To Thee!

1 Father! I go to Thee!
Father! Oh! show to me
Mercy and love;
Earthly my thoughts have been:
Oh! make me pure within!
Lead me above!

2 Deeply believing in
Thy love relieving sin,
Father, I come!
Oh! take Thy erring child,
Driven by passion wild,
Oh! take me home!

3 Lord, let me rest in Thee!
Thine ever blest to be;
Wise in my youth;
Striving Thy will to do;
Aiding my fellows, too!
Cleansed by Thy truth!
