Lyics

ALMIGHTY 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 trust,

The arm on which I lean;

He will my Saviour ever be,

Who hath my Saviour been.
