Dads play such an important role in our lives. They are our providers, our protectors, our comforters, and so much more. We should strive to show our appreciation for them each and every day, but we should especially make them feel loved on Father’s Day! Playing these Father’s Day Hymns is a great way to honor the dad, grandpa, or other father figures in your life. Share them with friends, family, or other church members who might enjoy them!
This is My Father’s World
1 This is my Father’s world, And to my listening ears All nature sings, and round me rings The music of the spheres. This is my Father’s world: I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas– His hand the wonders wrought. 2 This is my Father’s world: The birds their carols raise, The morning light, the lily white, Declare their Maker’s praise. This is my Father’s world: He shines in all that’s fair; In the rustling grass I hear Him pass, He speaks to me everywhere. 3 This is my Father’s world: O let me ne’er forget That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet. This is my Father’s world: Why should my heart be sad? The Lord is King: let the heavens ring! God reigns; let earth be glad!
A Mighty Fortress is Our God
A mighty fortress is our God, A tower of strength ne’er failing. A helper mighty is our God, O’er ills of life prevailing. He overcometh all. He saveth from the Fall. His might and pow’r are great. He all things did create. And he shall reign for evermore.
How Deep the Father’s Love for Us
1 How deep the Father’s love for us How vast beyond all measure That He should give His only Son To make a wretch His treasure How great the pain of searing loss The Father turns His face away As wounds which mar the Chosen One Bring many sons to glory 2 Behold the man upon a cross My sin upon His shoulders Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice Call out among the scoffers It was my sin that held Him there Until it was accomplished His dying breath has brought me life I know that it is finished 3 I will not boast in anything No gifts, no power, no wisdom But I will boast in Jesus Christ His death and resurrection Why should I gain from His reward? I cannot give an answer But this I know with all my heart His wounds have paid my ransom
Father Lead Me Day by Day
1 Father, lead me day by day, Ever in Thine own good way; Teach me to be pure and true, Show me what I ought to do. 2 When in danger, make me brave; Make me know that Thou canst save; Keep me safely by Thy side; Let me in Thy love abide. 3 When I’m tempted to do wrong, Make me steadfast, wise, and strong; And when all alone I stand, Shield me with Thy mighty hand. 4 May I do the good I know, Serving gladly here below; Then at last go home to Thee, Evermore Thine own to be.
O Thou Kind and Gracious Father
1 O thou kind and gracious Father, Reigning in the heav’ns above, Look on us, thy humble children; Fill us with thy holy love. Fill us with thy holy love. 2 We have met this Sabbath morning, Words of life and truth to hear. Teach us how to ever serve thee And thy holy name revere, And thy holy name revere. 3 Help us to resist temptation; Help us to refrain from ill. Help us all to gain salvation; Help us all to do thy will. Help us all to do thy will.
O My Father
1 O my Father, thou that dwellest In the high and glorious place, When shall I regain thy presence And again behold thy face? In thy holy habitation, Did my spirit once reside? In my first primeval childhood Was I nurtured near thy side? 2 For a wise and glorious purpose Thou hast placed me here on earth And withheld the recollection Of my former friends and birth; Yet ofttimes a secret something Whispered, “You’re a stranger here,” And I felt that I had wandered From a more exalted sphere. 3 I had learned to call thee Father, Thru thy Spirit from on high, But, until the key of knowledge Was restored, I knew not why. In the heav’ns are parents single? No, the thought makes reason stare! Truth is reason; truth eternal Tells me I’ve a mother there. 4 When I leave this frail existence, When I lay this mortal by, Father, Mother, may I meet you In your royal courts on high? Then, at length, when I’ve completed All you sent me forth to do, With your mutual approbation Let me come and dwell with you.
Take Thou My Hand, O Father
1 Take thou my hand and lead me; stay by my side til in thy joy eternal I may abide. Alone I will not wander one single day. Be thou my true companion and with me stay. 2 O cover with thy mercy my poor, weak heart! Let ev’ry thought rebellious from me depart. Permit thy child to linger here at thy feet, and fully trust thy goodness with faith complete. 3 Though naught of thy great power may move my soul, with thee through night and darkness I reach the goal. Take, then, my hand and lead me, stay by my side, and in thy joy eternal I shall abide.
Brightly Beams Our Father’s Mercy
1 From his lighthouse evermore, But to us he gives the keeping Of the lights along the shore. [Chorus] Let the lower lights be burning; Send a gleam across the wave. Some poor fainting, struggling seaman You may rescue, you may save. 2 Loud the angry billows roar. Eager eyes are watching, longing, For the lights along the shore. 3 Some poor sailor, tempest-tossed, Trying now to make the harbor, In the darkness may be lost.
Faith of Our Fathers
1 Faith of our fathers, living still, In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword; Oh, how our hearts beat high with joy Whene’er we hear that glorious word. [Chorus] Faith of our fathers, holy faith, We will be true to thee till death! 2 Faith of our fathers, we will strive To win all nations unto thee, And thru the truth that comes from God, Mankind shall then be truly free. 3 Faith of our fathers, we will love Both friend and foe in all our strife, And preach thee, too, as love knows how, By kindly words and virtuous life.
Father and Friend! Thy Light, Thy Love
1 Father and Friend! Thy light, Thy love, Beaming through all Thy works we see; Thy glory gilds the heavens above, And all the earth is full of Thee. 2 Thy voice we hear, Thy presence feel, While Thou, too pure for mortal sight, Involved in clouds, invisible, Reignest the Lord of life and light. 3 We know not in what hallowed part Of the wide heavens Thy throne may be, But this we know, that where Thou art, Strength, wisdom, goodness dwell with Thee. 4 Thy children shall not faint nor fear, Sustained by this exalted thought; Since Thou, their God, art everywhere, They cannot be where Thou art not!
