O Father Mine

Verse 1

O Father mine, to Thee My fervent prayer ascends, That Thou wilt take from me Whate’er Thy love offends; Though dear as my right hand to me, I freely give it up for Thee.

Verse 2

From all I may not love And be a child of Thine, I from this moment turn, Nor longer call it mine; Thy love alone shall fill my soul, And every tho't and wish control.

Verse 3

And when my hour has come, And death’s cold waves appear, Thy presence will sustain, And banish every fear; My soul from earth shall pass away, And soar to realms of endless day.
