Hymn 204
Holy Father, Thou hast given
1. Holy Father, Thou hast given
Holy truth from highest heave;
Words of counsel wise and pure
Words of promise bright and sure;
Light that guides us back to Thee,
Back to peace and purity.
2. Clearer than the sun at noon
Fairer than the silver moon,
Through the clouds and through the night
Shineth aye this heavenly light;
Help us, Lord, to life our eyes,
Take its guidance, and be wise.
3. Here the wisdom from above,
Beaming holiness and love,
Stirring hope, dispelling fear,
Shines to save; for Christ is here;
Knowing, trusting Him, we come
From our wanderings gladly home.
4. Blessed Saviour, Light Divine,
Thou hast bid us rise and shine;
Grant Thy grace, and we shall be
Children of the day in Thee,
Showing all around the road
Back to life, and love, and God.
