வல்ல பிதாவே, இதும் வார்த்தை

Representative Text

1 வல்ல பிதாவே, இதும் வார்த்தை,
யாம் கேட்டுணர்ந்தோமே இந்நேரம்,
எம் மனதிலும் அதோர் வித்தைப்போலே,
வளர்ந்துப்பின் பலன் தரவே.

2 போற்றுகிறோம் உந்தன் கிருபைகட் காய்,
எம் வாழ்வில் உம் அன்பை உணர்ந்தே,
இப்போதிங்கே தொழுதிடும் எல்லோரையும்
முடிவினில் சேரும் உம் வீடே.
