Tune:[Blessed Father, Great Creator]
Composer:Henry Smart

164. Blessed Father, Great Creator!

1 Blessed Father, Great Creator!
Humbly at Thy feet we bend;
To Thy throne for all Thy favors,
Youthful praises now we send.
Blessed Father! Blessed Father!
To our youthful songs attend.

2 Blessed Jesus, Great Redeemer!
Sadly by Thy cross we stand;
On that cross Thou diedst to bring us,
To the joys of Thy right hand.
Blessed Jesus! Blessed Jesus!
Bring us to Thy heav’nly land.

3 Blessed Spirit, Great Consoler!
Make our hearts Thy dwelling-place;
Teach us, guide us, sanctify us,
And befriend us all our days.
Blessed Spirit! Blessed Spirit!
Ever cheer us with Thy grace.

4 Blessed Father, Son, and Spirit,
Glorious Godhead Three in One!
Guide us to the heav’n of heavens,
Thor’ the merits of the Son.
Guide and guard us, Guide and guard us,
Till we see Him on the throne.

Amen.
