Almighty Father Of Mankind
Almighty Father of mankind,
On Thee our hopes remain;
And when the day of trouble comes
I shall not trust in vain.
In early years Thou wast my Guide,
And of my youth the Friend;
And as my days began with Thee,
With Thee my days shall end.
I know the Power in Whom I trust,
The arm on which I lean;
He will my Savior ever be
Who has my Savior been.
My God, who causedst me to hope
When life began to beat,
And, when a stranger in the world,
Didst guide my wandering feet.
Thou wilt not cast me off when age
And evil days descend;
Thou wilt not leave me in despair
To mourn my latter end.
Therefore in life I’ll trust in Thee,
In death I will adore;
And after death will sing Thy praise
When time shall be no more.
Words: Michael Bruce (1746-1767).
Music: St. Peter (Reinagle), Alexander R. Reinagle, 1836
…enjoy your Sunday, we are snowed in.
Stay warm and cozy!
We are snowed in, too, here in the midwest. Of course, it doesn’t take much for us to stay in!
Love the picture you chose to illustrate this hymn. I’d never heard it before but I love the words!
Jerralea, It doesn’t take much for me to stay in, too!
