Author: Eliza M. Sherman Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8743 Meter: 10.10.12.10 First Line: Father, before Thy throne my soul would bow Lyrics: 1 Father, before Thy throne my soul would bow;
Ne’er have I asked in vain; O hear me now;
Hear Thou the prayer I make, answer for Jesus’ sake;
Bid faith and love awake within my heart.
2 Father, this heart of mine, which now I bring,
Lies down before Thy feet, a guilty thing;
Kindle its altar fire, then hope and zeal inspire;
Wake Thou its silent lyre in praise to Thee.
3 Thou art our dwelling place in every age;
In Thy sweet love we trace our heritage—
Our refuge from the storm, our shelter safe and warm;
Help us our vows perform, Father divine. Languages: English Tune Title: SAITAMA
Father, Before Thy Throne
