April 23 –  Pastoral Hymn

O’ Father I have heard Your voice

In the stillness of the night.

And at Your feet I’ve learned to love,

To ever do what’s right.

Father I will lift to You

Each wounded soul you send

That I should be Your loving hands

Your goodness thus to spend.

O’ Father I have seen Your face

In wind and waves and sun,

And on the wide and rolling plain

And mountains where the rivers run.

Father I will bring to you

Each lost and weary heart

That I should find along my way

Your love to each impart.

O’ Father I have touched the streams

Of mercy from Your hand

And caught a glimpse of majesty

I cannot understand.

Father I receive from You

All that my heart can hide

And in the shelter of Your love

Forever I’ll abide.
