Author: Thomas Wistar Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16388 Meter: 11.11.11.11.11 First Line: Our Father in Heaven, Creator of all Lyrics:
1 Our Father in Heaven, Creator of all,
O Source of all wisdom, on Thee would we call;
Thou only canst teach us, and show us our need,
And give to Thy children true knowledge indeed,
And give to Thy children true knowledge indeed.
2 But vain our instruction, and blind we must be,
Unless with our learning be knowledge of Thee;
Then pour forth Thy Spirit, and open our eyes,
And fill with the knowledge that only makes wise
And fill with the knowledge that only makes wise.
3 From pride and presumption, O Lord, keep us free,
And make our hearts humble, and loyal to thee;
That living or dying, in Thee we may rest,
And prove to the scornful, Thy statutes are best,
And prove to the scornful, Thy statutes are best.
4 Our fair Alma Mater, O strengthen her days
To send forth forever true sons to her praise;
O widen her borders, extend her fair fame,
And let all the glory redound to Thy name,
And let all the glory redound to Thy name.
