Classic Poem

Holy Father, God of Love!
Send thy Spirit from above;
Help us all thy name to sing,
God of mercy, Heav'nly King!

For the burden'd slave would we
Ask the gifts of liberty;
For the weary and oppress'd,
We would ask thy peace and rest.

In thy gracious love arise,
See his burdens, hear his cries;
Rend his fetters, set him free,
Slave no longer let him be.

Then his thankful voice shall raise
Songs to thee of grateful praise;
Grace, free grace, shall be his theme,
Thou shalt be his Lord Supreme.
