Tune:[Father, holy Father]
Composer:G. Hinton

61. Father, Holy Father

1 Father, holy Father,
Now the sun has come,
Bringing light and glory
From thy heav'nly home.

2 We thy little children,
To thy throne above
We would hymn thy praises,
We would sing thy love.

3 Thou art wise and loving,
Thou art great and strong;
Glad when we do rightly,
Grieved when we do wrong.

4 Hear us, holy Father,
As to thee we pray,
Asking thee to keep us
Safe from harm today.

5 Father, God, our Father,
Guide us ev'ry hour;
Keep us safe, and shield us
From temptation's pow'r. Amen.
