Your Fatherly Love, Oh LORD

1. The tender love a father has

For all his children dear,

Such love you, LORD, bestow on them

Who worship you in fear.

2. You, LORD, remember we are dust,

And all our frailty know;

Our days are like the tender grass,

And as the flower we grow.

3. The flower is withered by the wind

That smites with blighting breath;

So man is quickly swept away

Before the blast of death.

4. Unchanging is your love, Oh GOD,

From age to age the same,

Displayed to all who do your will

And reverence your Name.

5. Those who your gracious covenant keep

Oh LORD you'll ever bless;

Their children's children shall rejoice

To see your righteousness.

Adapted into a prayer from the 1912 Psalter paraphrase of Psalm 103:13-18
