Invocation of Our Father's Presence. |
612. L. M.6l. Anonymous. Invocation of our Father's Presence. 1 O Father, -- draw us after thee! So shall we run and never tire; Thy presence still our comfort be, Our hope, our joy, our sole desire; Thy Spirit grant; -- for neither fear Nor sin can come, while that is here. 2 From all eternity, with love Unchangeable, thou hast us viewed; Before these beating hearts did move, Thy tender mercies us pursued: Ever with us may they abide, And close us in on every side. 3 In suffering be thy love our peace; In weakness be thy love our power; And when the storms of life shall cease, O God! in that important hour, In death as life be thou our guide, And bear us through death's whelming tide.
