Author: Grace Gordon Hymnal: Northfield Hymnal No. 3 #222 (1918) First Line: Like as a father, God on His throne Lyrics: 1 Like as a father, God on His throne, Cares for His children, guarding His own; Shields from all danger, mighty His arm, Knows every sorrow, keeps from all harm. Refrain: Like as a father, tender His care, Blessings so boundless, ever, we share; Doubts ne’er distress us, ears ne’er appal, Like as a father, He guards us all. 2 Like as a father, God in His love, Guides us forever, watching above; Matchless His mercy, boundless his power, Keeping in safety, through trial’s hour. [Refrain] 3 Like as a father, tender and strong, His is the burden, ours is the song; Mansions await us, built by His hand, Soon in the homeland, joyous we’ll stand.
