O Father, All Creating
O Father, All Creating | |
John Ellerton, 1876
| O Father, all creating, Whose wisdom, love, and power First bound two lives together In Eden's primal hour, Today to these Thy children Thine earliest gifts renew, A home by Thee made happy, A love by Thee kept true.
2. O Saviour, Guest most bounteous | 3. O Spirit of the Father, Breathe on them from above, So mighty in Thy pureness, So tender in Thy love, That, guarded by Thy presence, From sin and strife kept free, Their lives may own Thy guidance, Their hearts be ruled by Thee.
4. Except Thou build it, Father, |
