Oh, my Father in Heaven Guarding me from all perils and trialsΒ Β And sets my heart free of all clutter For you, my songs of praise, I reserve
All my life, I shall sing Without fail, in bloom or gloom On every unfolding day Through months and years Till death and beyond Let my songs sail across the skies And with the chorus of the heavenly band, unite
Oh, the benevolent Lord of all creation Custodian of all wealth Contriver of birth and death The Master Crafts man Everything is your handiwork.
The lofty mounts Veiled in misty snow The verdant dales Lush and still The fathomless deep Where mysteries peep All the flowers That bloom and wither All things Bright and beautiful Everything, above and below In all, Let me behold thy grace And sing Thee praise!
Oh! Redeemer of Mankind Guide me through the dark Guard my steps where dangers lurk Hold my hand And never loosen your grip
Make me face the light Illumine me with wisdom serene And fill me with love divine; So that you be glorified Here, on Earth And in Heaven be!
