Author: Thomas Wentworth Higginson Hymnal: The Hymnal #90 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 To Thine eternal arms, O God,
Take us, Thine erring children, in;
From dangerous paths too boldly trod,
From wandering thoughts and dreams of sin.
2 Those arms were round our childhood's ways,
A guard through helpless years to be;
O leave not our maturer days!
We still are helpless without Thee.
We trusted hope and pride and strength;
Our strength proved false, our pride was vain,
Our dreams have faded all at length —
We come to Thee, O Lord, again!
A guide to trembling steps yet be!
Give us of Thine eternal powers!
So shall our paths all lead to Thee,
And life still smile, like childhood’s hours.
Amen. Topics: God the Father His Love and Fatherhood; God Guidance, His; God Love and Fatherhood, His; Penitence and Confession Tune Title: FEDERAL STREET
