MHB 47 – FATHER of all! whose powerful voice

Methodist-Hymns-047

1: FATHER of all! whose powerful voice
Called forth this universal frame;
Whose mercies over all rejoice,
Through endless ages still the same:

2: Thou by Thy word upholdest all;
Thy bounteous love to all is showed,
Thou hearst Thy every creatures call,
And fillest every mouth with good.

3: Giver and Lord of life, whose power
And guardian care for all are free,
To thee, in fierce temptations hour,
From sin and Satan let us flee.

4: Thine, Lord, we are, and ours thou art;
In us be all thy goodness showed.
Renew, enlarge, and fill our heart
With peace, and joy, and heaven, and God.

5: .Father,tis Thine each day to yeild
Thy childrens wants a fresh supply;
Thou clothst the lilies of the field,
And hearest the young ravens cry

6: On Thee we cast our care; we live
Through Thee, who knowst our every need:
O feed us with Thy grace, and give
Our souls this day the living bread. Amen.
