Father, We Come to Thee

1

Father, we come to thee,No other help have we;Thou wilt our refuge be,On thee we call.Earth is but dark and drearWithout thy presence near;Be thou our comfort here,Father of all.

Chorus.

Father, we come to thee,Turn not away;Helpless we come to thee,Hear while we pray.

2

Save from our many foes,Save from our earthly woes;Be thou our soul's reposeIn time of need.Doubting are we, and weak,To us sweet courage speak;Thy mighty arm we seekFor strength indeed.

3

Give us thy grace divine,Seal us forever thine;Our wayward feet inclineFrom sin to flee.Oh, guide us, we implore,Till weary life is o'er,And on a brighter shoreWe dwell with thee.
