1277. Father, we come to thee

1 Father, we come to thee,
No other help have we;
Thou wilt our refuge be,
On thee we call.
Earth is but dark and drear
Without thy presence near;
Be thou our comfort here,
Father of all.

CHORUS:
Father, we come to thee,
Turn not away;
Helpless we come to thee,
Hear while we pray.

2 Save from our many foes,
Save from our earthly woes;
Be thou our soul's repose
In time of need.
Doubting are we, and weak,
To us sweet, courage speak;
Thy mighty arm we seek
For strength indeed. [Chorus]

3 Give us thy grace divine,
Seal us forever thine;
Our wayward feet incline
From sin to flee.
Oh, guide us, we implore,
Till weary life is o'er,
And on a bright shore
We dwell with three. [Chorus]
