131. Blessed Father, Great Creator

1. Blessed Father, great Creator,
Humbly at thy feet we bend;
To thy throne for all thy favor
Youthful praises now we send.
Blessed Father, blessed Father,
To our youthful songs attend.

2.Blessed Jesus, great Redeemer,
Sadly by thy cross we stand,
Knowing thou didst die to bring us
To the joys of thy right hand.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Bring us to thy heavenly land.

3. Blessed Spirit, great Consoler,
Make our hearts thy dwelling place;
Teach us, guide us, sanctify us,
And console us all our days.
Blessed Spirit, blessed Spirit,
Ever cheer us with thy grace.

4. Blessed Father, Son, and Spirit,
Glorious Godhead, Three in One,
Guide us to the heaven of heavens,
Through the merits of the Son.
Guide and guard us, guide and guard us,
Till we see Him on the throne.
