Like as a Father

Author: F. E. Belden Hymnal: Christ in Song #77 (1908) Hymnal Title: Christ in Song First Line: Like as a father, pities his child Lyrics: 1 Like as a father, pities his child, So the Lord pities the sinner defiled; Waiteth in kindness, Pities our blindness, Longeth to welcome, tho' often reviled. 2 Like as a father when we believe, Merciful Saviour, He waits to receive; Listens to hear us, Blesses to cheer us, Pities whenever His Spirit we grieve. 3 Like as a father, ever the same, He that created, and knoweth our frame; Watcheth the straying, Guardeth the praying, Bids us to trust in His Almighty name. 4 Like as a father, constant is He, God is our passion regardeth our plea; In need He cometh, Precious His promise; Father in heaven for ever to be. Topics: Invitation and Repentance; God God's Love and Mercy; God God's Love and Mercy; God God's Love and Mercy; God God's Love and Mercy Languages: English Tune Title: [Like as a father pities his child]

F. E. Belden

1858 - 1945 Hymnal Title: Christ in Song Author of "Like as a Father" in Christ in Song Belden was born in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1858. He began writing music in his late teenage years after moving to California with his family. For health reasons he later moved to Colorado. He returned to Battle Creek with his wife in the early 1880s, and there he became involved in Adventist Church publishing. F. E. Belden wrote many hymn tunes, gospel songs, and related texts in the early years of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Belden was able to rapidly write both music and poetry together which enabled him to write a song to fit a sermon while it was still being delivered. He also wrote songs for evang­el­ist Bil­ly Sun­day. Though Belden’s later years were marred by misunderstandings with the church leadership over his royalties, he did donate his papers and manuscripts to the church’s seminary at his death. He died on December 2, 1945 in Battle Creek, Michigan. N.N., Hymnary. Source: http://www.hymntime.com/tch/bio/b/e/l/belden_fe.htm
