Father Almighty, Bless Us with Thy Blessing

Father Al­migh­ty

bless us with Thy bless­ing

[alternate first line:O ho­ly Fa­ther

bless us with Thy bless­ing]

Answer in love Thy child­ren’s sup­pli­ca­tion;

Hear Thou our pray­er

the spok­en and un­spok­en;

Hear us

O Fa­ther.

Shepherd of souls

who bring­est all who seek Thee

To pas­tures green

be­side the peace­ful wa­ters;

Tenderest Guide

in ways of cheer­ful du­ty

Lead us

good Shep­herd.

Father of mer­cy

from Thy watch and keep­ing

No place can part

nor hour of time re­move us;

Give us Thy good

and save us from our ev­il

Infinite Spir­it!
