My Father, I Will Cry to Thee
1. When I go out into the world
To work among my flocks and fields,
For increase and a fruitful yield,
My Father, I will cry to thee.
2. When I return at each day’s end
To rest with family and friends,
My head I’ll bow, my knees I’ll bend—
My Father, I will cry to thee.
3. When adversaries stand and fight
To sever me from thy true light,
Though battles rage throughout the night,
My Father, I will cry to thee.
4. My whole life long, my soul I’ll bare
With heart drawn out in humble prayer
To ask thee for thy loving care:
My Father, I will cry to thee.
