1 Heav’nly Father, make us know
All the way our feet should go,
Kind to all, and true to thee,
Gracious heav’nly Father!

2 Help us to be kind each day,
Still to choose the better way,
Willing and obedient be,
Gracious heav’nly Father!

3 While to thee our hearts we bring,
Lord, accept our offering;
Keep us ever true to thee,
Gracious heav’nly Father!
