Father, loving Father, Hear Thy children???s call; With Thy love enfold us, And protect us all. From the dawn???s first glimmer, To the close of day May we feel Thee near us On our earthly way. And from evening prayer time Through the dark of night, Let us rest in quietness Until morn brings light. Teach our tongues to praise Thee In the hymns we sing; Teach our hearts to love Thee As our voices ring.
