Text:Go to Thy Father in Prayer
Author:Frona Scott
Tune:[When billows of sorrow sweep over thy soul]
Composer:Haldor Lillenas

45. Go to Thy Father in Prayer

1 When billows of sorrow sweep over thy soul,
Go to thy Father in pray’r;
When storms in their fury around thee shall roll,
Go to thy Father in pray’r.

Refrain:
Go to thy Father in pray’r,
He will thy burdens bear;
When cares oppress and sorrows distress,
Go to thy Father in pray’r.

2 When loved ones have crossed to the far away shore,
Go to thy Father in pray’r;
And when through the darkness the sun shines no more,
Go to thy Father in pray’r. [Refrain]

3 In valley and shadow no harm can betide,
Go to thy Father in pray’r;
To guide and sustain thee He’s near at thy side,
Go to thy Father in pray’r. [Refrain]
