Our Father! O what gracious ways
And thoughts of love
that Name conveys!
It tells us of the tender care
Belovèd children ever share.
Our Father! by Thy mercies past,
We learn on Thee our cares to cast;
And while our wants
are known to Thee,
We need not fear whate’er they be.
How oft when wand’ring far away,
Thy care has hedged up all our way;
So bidding us return and live,
And learn how much
Thou canst forgive.
How precious are Thy thoughts to us!
How dear Thy Name revealèd thus!
O make us followers of Thee.
As Thy dear children ought to be!
