O Father, hear me
as I pray to Thee,
I know that I am far from purity;
But Jesus died that
sinful men might live,
So in His Name I ask Thee to forgive.
Father, Father,
Humbly now I come to Thee;
Father, Father,
Hear, oh hear my humble plea.
I pray that Thou wilt
pardon ev’ry sin;
O Lord, forgive and
make me pure within.
Plant a desire for service in my heart
And give me strength
to always do my part.
Father, Father,
Humbly now I come to Thee;
Father, Father,
Hear, oh hear my humble plea.
Tonight, O Father,
as the shadows creep
And I so gently
close my eyes in sleep,
I pray that Thou wilt guard me
through the night
And keep me safe till comes
the morning light.
Father, Father,
Humbly now I come to Thee;
Father, Father,
Hear, oh hear my humble plea.
When morning comes, oh,
let me rise to work,
Forbid that duty I should ever shirk;
And when at last
my race on earth is run,
Grant, Lord, that I may hear
Thee say, “Well done.”
Father, Father,
Humbly now I come to Thee;
Father, Father,
Hear, oh hear my humble plea.
