Fathers

As you probably already know, music is a big part of my life.  Okay, it's a HUGE part of my life.  When I think of holidays, I can't help but think of a piece of music that accompanies it.  Where else does my mind go on Father's Day but to the hymn "God of our Fathers."  It's an OLD song but it is also one of the few old songs that, at least for me, are timeless!

God of our fathers Whose almighty hand

Leads forth in beauty All the starry band

Of shining worlds In splendor through the skies

Our grateful songs Before Thy throne arise

Thy love divine Hath led us in the past

In this free land By Thee our lot is cast

Be Thou our Ruler Guardian Guide and Stay

Thy Word our law Thy paths our chosen way

From war's alarms From deadly pestilence

Be Thy strong arm Our ever sure defense

Thy true religion In our hearts increase

Thy bounteous goodness Nourish us in peace

Refresh Thy people On their toilsome way

Lead us from night To never-ending day

Fill all our lives With love and grace divine

And glory laud And praise be ever Thine

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY....To My Abba!
