8278. O Father, Kindly Deign To Hear

1 O Father, kindly deign to hear
The thanks Thy children bring;
Help us with love and reverent fear
Thy lofty praise to sing.

2 And while before Thy throne we bow,
Come Thou to every heart:
From sin O purify us now;
Give us that better part.

3 Remove today the world’s wild din;
Our souls from evil save;
Help us life’s noblest crown to win;
Guide us beyond the grave.
