Holy Father, in Thy Mercy

93

(BULLINGER)

1. Holy Father, in thy mercy
   Hear our anxious prayer.
   Keep our loved ones, now far absent,
   'Neath thy care.
   
2. Jesus, Saviour, let thy presence
   Be their light and guide ;
   Keep, keep them in their weakness,
   At thy side.
   
3. When in sorrow, when in danger,
   When in loneliness,
   In thy love look down and comfort
   Their distress.
   
4. May the joy of thy salvation
   Be their strength and stay;
   May they love and may they praise thee
   Day by day.
   
5. Holy Spirit, let thy teaching
   Sanctify their life;
   Send thy grace, that they may conquer
   In the strife.
