Author: Thomas MacKellar, 1812-1899 Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #756 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Father! in my life's young morning Lyrics: 1 Father! in my life's young morning,
May thy word direct my way;
Let me heed each gracious warning,
Lest my feet should go astray;
Make me willing, make me willing,
All its precepts to obey;
Let me heed each gracious warning,
Lest my feet should go astray.
2 Father! gentle is thy teaching;
Be a docile spirit mine;
Ev'ry day thy grace beseeching,
Let thy loving kindness shine
Always on me, always on me,
And my heart be wholly thine.
Ev'ry day thy grace beseeching,
Let thy loving-kindness shine.
3 Father! let me never covet
Things of vanity and pride;
Teach me truth, and may I love it
Better than all else beside.
Blessed Bible! blessed Bible!
May it be my heavenward guide.
Teach me truth, and may I love it
Better than all else beside. Topics: Book Three: Children's Hymns and Songs Scripture: Psalm 119:1 Languages: English Tune Title: GORTON
