Holy Father, We Adore Thee

Author: E. F. Stewart Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Holy Father, we adore Thee, And all honor to Thee give, For the blessings, without number, Freely granted while we live. In our youthful days Thy mercy, Like a river calmly flows, And in riper years ne’er failing, As the solace of our woes. 2 Holy Father, Thou didst love us, E’en while wandering far from Thee, And didst send the blessèd Savior, For a sacrifice to be. In a manger low they laid Him, ’Mid the beasts within the stall; Angels guarding the Redeemer, Who salvation brought to all. 3 Holy Father, send Thy Spirit Into every waiting heart, And let all receive with favor What will prove the better part; While to Thee, with tuneful voices, Sweetest praises we will sing, Heav’n and earth, in one grand chorus, Loudest hallelujahs ring. Used With Tune: COLUMBIA HEIGHTS Text Sources: The Crowning Triumph, by George C. Hugg (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: F. A. North & Company, 1879)
