Lyics

Father supreme! thou high and holy One!
To thee we bow;
Now, when the burden of the day is gone,
Devoutly now.


From age to age unchanging, stil the same
All good thou art;
Hallowed forever be thy reverend name,
In every heart.


When the glad morn upon the hills was spread, 
Thy smile was there;
Now, as the darkness gathers over head,
We feel thy care.


Thou, through the dark, wilt watch above our sleep
With eye of love;
And thou wilt wake us when the sunbeams leap
The hills above.


O, may each heart its gratitude express
As life expands,
And find the triumph of its happiness
In thy commands.
