O My Father
Author: Eliza R. Snow, 1804–1887 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 18 hymnals First Line: O my Father, thou that dwellest Lyrics: 1. O my Father, thou that dwellest
In the high and glorious place,
When shall I regain thy presence
And again behold thy face?
In thy holy habitation,
Did my spirit once reside?
In my first primeval childhood
Was I nurtured near thy side?
2. For a wise and glorious purpose
Thou hast placed me here on earth
And withheld the recollection
Of my former friends and birth;
Yet ofttimes a secret something
Whispered, “You’re a stranger here,”
And I felt that I had wandered
From a more exalted sphere.
3. I had learned to call thee Father,
Thru thy Spirit from on high,
But, until the key of knowledge
Was restored, I knew not why.
In the heav’ns are parents single?
No, the thought makes reason stare!
Truth is reason; truth eternal
Tells me I’ve a mother there.
4. When I leave this frail existence,
When I lay this mortal by,
Father, Mother, may I meet you
In your royal courts on high?
Then, at length, when I’ve completed
All you sent me forth to do,
With your mutual approbation
Let me come and dwell with you. Topics: Comfort; Exaltation; Fatherhood; Funeral; God the Father; Home; Motherhood; Plan of Salvation; Premortal Life; Special Topics Scripture: Romans 8:16-17 Used With Tune: MY REDEEMER

And Israel’s daughters wept around.

For him who groaned beneath your load;
He shed a thousand drops for you,
A thousand drops of precious blood.
3. Here’s love and grief beyond degree;
The Lord of glory died for men.
But lo! what sudden joys were heard!
The Lord, though dead, revived again.

Cherubic legions guard him home
And shout him welcome to the skies. Topics: Easter; Jesus Christ Savior; Plan of Salvation; Resurrection; Sacrament Scripture: Matthew 28:5-6 Used With Tune: OFFERING

But with joy wend your way.
Though hard to you this journey may appear,
Grace shall be as your day.
’Tis better far for us to strive
Our useless cares from us to drive;
Do this, and joy your hearts will swell—
All is well! All is well!
2. Why should we mourn or think our lot is hard?
’Tis not so; all is right.
Why should we think to earn a great reward
If we now shun the fight?
Gird up your loins; fresh courage take.
Our God will never us forsake;
And soon we’ll have this tale to tell—
All is well! All is well!
3. We’ll find the place which God for us prepared,
Far away in the West,
Where none shall come to hurt or make afraid;
There the Saints will be blessed.
We’ll make the air with music ring,
Shout praises to our God and King;
Above the rest these words we’ll tell—
All is well! All is well!
4. And should we die before our journey’s through,
Happy day! All is well!
We then are free from toil and sorrow, too;
With the just we shall dwell!
But if our lives are spared again
To see the Saints their rest obtain,
Oh, how we’ll make this chorus swell—
All is well! All is well! Topics: Commitment; Courage; Duty; Encouragement; Enduring to the End; Hope; Pioneers; Restoration; Sacrifice; Trials Used With Tune: ALL IS WELL

And priceless the value of truth will be when
The proud monarch’s costliest diadem
Is counted but dross and refuse.

When with winds of stern justice he copes.
But the pillar of truth will endure to the last,
And its firm-rooted bulwarks outstand the rude blast
And the wreck of the fell tyrant’s hopes.
4. Then say, what is truth? ’Tis the last and the first,
For the limits of time it steps o’er.
Tho the heavens depart and the earth’s fountains burst,
Truth, the sum of existence, will weather the worst,
Eternal, unchanged, evermore. Topics: Honesty; Special Topics; Truth Scripture: John 18:37-38 Used With Tune: JAQUES

Turning back the sinful tide.

A dying world to save.

And ev’ry point defines
To light and life and endless day
Where God’s full presence shines.

We eat the broken bread
And witness with the cup, afresh,
Our faith in Christ, our Head.
