Author:Isabella S. Stephenson

586. Holy Father, in Thy Mercy

1 Holy Father, in Thy mercy
Hear our anxious prayer;
Keep our loved ones, now far absent,
'Neath Thy care.

2 Jesus, Saviour, let Thy presence
Be their light and guide;
Keep, O keep them, in their weakness
At Thy side.

3 When in sorrow, when in danger,
When in loneliness,
In Thy love look down and comfort
Their distress.

4 Holy Spirit, let Thy teaching
Be their strength and stay;
May they love and may they praise Thee
Day by day.

5 Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
God the One in Three,
Bless them, guide them, save them, keep them,
Near to Thee.

Amen.
