Song Of Inspiration
My Father, Whom I love so dear,
Thou art my Light, my shining hour.
Beneath Thy just, refining1 Hand
My blessings multiply.
As Thou reveals Thy will, Thy Law2 -
This student lists, on bended knee,
With quickened ear and grateful heart.
And knows that Thou art God of all.
O bring me joy and whisper nigh
Thy secrets of eternity
That I may hear Thy deepest thoughts,
That truth may ever burn in me3.
O loose me not, my precious Lord
For I, thy child am evermore
Thy servant, thy disciple suffering long.
But bless me as the Saints4 of old:
Smart and brave and gospel strong
That I may more fully serve Thee On High
In this waste place,
Then later in Thy courts of Peace.
O, how I love Thee, Father.
Father, how I love Thy Son.
Who ransomed5 me from death and from
The awful sins of flesh
That I might come forth to see Thee,
To dwell forever in Thy Light.
