Laudes Domini ‎#55

55. "Father, hear us!"

1 God Almighty and All-seeing!
Holy One, in whom we all
Live, and move, and have our being,
Hear us when on thee we call;
Father, hear us,
As before thy throne we fall.

2 Of all good art thou the Giver;
Weak and wandering ones are we;
Then for ever, yes, for ever,
In thy presence would we be;
Oh, be near us,
That we wander not from thee.
