Father and Friend! Thy light, Thy love

Thy light, Thy love, Beaming through all Thy works we see; Thy glory gilds the heavens above, And all the earth is full of Thee. 2 Thy voice we hear, Thy presence feel, While Thou, too pure for mortal sight, Involved in clouds, invisible, Reignest the Lord of life and light. 3 We know not in what hallowed part Of the wide heavens Thy throne may be, But this we know, that where Thou art, Strength, wisdom, goodness dwell with Thee. 4 Thy children shall not faint nor fear, Sustained by this exalted thought; Since Thou, their God, art everywhere, They cannot be where Thou art not!
