25. Loving Father

1 Loving Father, hear Thy children,
Kneeling low before Thy throne;
O accept our humble worship,
Jesus, Saviour, God alone
Give us hearts to love Thee truly,
And to love each other too;
Make us gentle, kind, obedient,
In all things we say or do.

2 Asking not from pain to save us,
But from sin, the cause of pain;
Cleanse our souls and make us holy,
Lead us in Thy way again.
Give us here Thy sweet supporting,
Help us all to do Thy will;
That at last in heavenly mansions,
We may love and serve Thee still.
