Father, Who Art Alone

Father, who art alone

Our Helper and our Stay;

O hear us! as we plead

For loved ones far away;

And shield with Thine almighty hand

Our wanderers by sea and land.

O compass with Thy love

The daily path they tread!

And may Thy light and truth

Upon their hearts be shed;

That, one in all things with Thy will,

Heav'n's peace and joy their souls may fill.

Guard them from every harm

When dangers shall assail,

And teach them that Thy power

Can never, never fail;

We cannot with our loved ones be,

But trust them, Father, unto Thee.
