LyicsFather, in thy mysterious presence kneeling,
Fain would our souls feel all thy kindly love;
For we are weak, and need some deep revealing
Of trust and strength and calmness from above.
Lord, we have wandered forth thro' doubt and sorrow,
And thou hast made each step an onward one;
And we will ever trust each unknown morrow,
Thou wilt sustain us till our work is done.
In the heart's depths a peace serene and holy
Abides, and when pain seems to have her will,
Or we despair, O, many that peace rise slowly,
Stronger than angony, and we be still.
Now, Father, now, in thy dear presence kneeling,
Our spirits yearn to feel the kindling love;
Now make us strong, we need thy deep revealing
Of trust and strength and calmness from above.
