Father, we come to thee

Author: F. E. Belden Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 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.

F. E. Belden

1858 - 1945 Author of "Father, we come to thee" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book 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
