Lyrics
-
1. Father, cheer our souls tonight;Lift our burdens, make them light.Let thine all-pervading loveShine upon us from above.
-
2. Calm the surges of the soul;Bid the dark waves backward roll.Let us all thy mercies feelThru the pow'r thou dost reveal.
-
3. Bless our loved ones far away;Grant them health and peace, we pray.In their hearts let holy lightBeam to guide their steps aright.
-
4. Let implicit faith and trustHelp us know thy ways are just.May thine ever-tender loveLead our hearts to thee above.
