Invoking God's Aid.
1Father in heaven, to thee my heart
Would lift itself in prayer;
Drive from my soul each earthly thought
And show thy presence there.
2Each moment of my life renews
The mercies of my Lord,
Each moment is itself a gift
To bear me on to God.
3O, help me break the galling chains,
This world has round me thrown,
Each passion of my heart subdue,
Each darling sin disown.
4O Father, kindle in my breast
A never dying flame
Of holy love, of grateful trust
In thine almighty name.
