Father, we come to Thee,

by F. E. Belden (1858–1945)

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 599 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

Father, we come to Thee, No other help have we; Thou wilt our refuge be, On Thee we call, Earth is but dark and drear Without Thy presence near; Be Thou our comfort here, Father of all.

Refrain

Father, we come to Thee, Turn not away; Helpless we come to Thee, Hear while we pray.

Verse 2

Save from our many foes, Savefrom our earthly woes; Be Thou our soul's repose In time of need. Doubting are we, and weak; To us sweet courage speak; Thy mighty arm we seek For strength indeed.

Verse 3

Give us Thy grace divine, Seal us forever Thine; Our wayward feet incline From sin to flee. Oh, guide us, we implore, Till weary life is o'er, And on a brighter shore We dwell with Thee.
