Song Lyrics
Father and Friend! Thy light, Thy love
Beaming through all Thy works we see
Thy glory gilds the heavens above
And all the earth is full of Thee
Thy voice we hear, Thy presence feel
While Thou, too pure for mortal sight
Involved in clouds, invisible
Reignest the Lord of life and light
Thy children shall not faint nor fear
Sustained by this exalted thought
Since Thou, their God, art everywhere
They cannot be where Thou art not!
Alternate verse:
We know not in what hallowed part
Of the wide heavens Thy throne may be
But this we know, that where Thou art
Strength, wisdom, goodness dwell with Thee
