2 Father in Heaven! O, hear when we call;
Hear, for Christ's sake, who is Saviour of all.
Feeble and fainting, we trust in Thy might;
In doubting and darkness, Thy love be our light.
Let us sleep on Thy breast when the night taper burns,
Wake in Thy arms when morning returns. Father, etc.

3 Should coming days be cold and dark,
We need not cease our singing;
That perfect rest nought can molest,
Where golden harps are ringing.
For O, we, etc.

2 We'll gird our loins, my brethren dear, 4 Let sorrow's rudest tempest blow,

Our distant home discerning;

Our absent Lord has left us word,

Let every lamp be burning:

For O, we, etc.

Each chord on earth to sever :
Our King says, Come, and there's our home,
Forever, O, forever!

For O, we, etc.

My heart before Thee laying,
Did I not know I cannot move
The wiser purpose of Thy love!
Dear God, Thy will be done,
And Thine alone!

Would silence all my asking;
How should I dare a single hour
To borrow Thine almighty power?
Dear God, Thy will be done,

Disturb Thy love's replying!

I shall not mourn the things I miss

If Thou but make me sure of this;

Dear God, Thy will be done,

Of everlasting peace;
