LyicsAlmighty Father of mankind!
On thee my hopes remain;
And when the day of trouble comes,
I shall not trust in vain.
In early years, thou wast my guide,
And of my youth the friend;
And, as my days began with thee,
With thee my days shall end.
I know the Power in whom I trus',
The arm on which I lean;
He will my Saviour ever be,
Who has my Saviour been.
Thou wilt not cast me off, when age
And evil days descend;
Thou wilt not leave me in despair,
To mourn my latter end.
Therefore, in life I'll trust in thee;
In death I will adore;
And after death will sing thy praise,
When time shall be no more.
